Homebrew installation failed
I was trying to re-install homebrew on my Mac. I used the following command.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
I got the following error. Could someone help me with what to do here?

Solution 1:
I removed the HomeBrew files by running the following command. After that, I ran the installation as mentioned in the above post. It all worked fine. I was able to install all the packages I need.
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/HomeBrew
