The Apple keynote is [here](https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2015/?id=706) if you'd like to learn more. As noted in the keynote, Apple is leaving `/usr/local` open for developers to use, so Homebrew can still be used as expected. - -One of the implications of SIP was that you could not simply create `/usr/local` if you had removed it. This issue was fixed with the `com.apple.pkg.SystemIntegrityProtectionConfig.14U2076` update. - -**If you haven't installed Homebrew in `/usr/local` or another system-protected directory, this document does not apply to you.** - -This is how to fix Homebrew on El Capitan if you see permission issues: - -## If `/usr/local` exists already: - -```bash -sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local -``` - -## If `/usr/local` does not exist: -First, try to create `/usr/local` the normal way: - -```bash - sudo mkdir /usr/local && sudo chflags norestricted /usr/local && sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local -``` - -If you see permission issues instead try: - -* Reboot into Recovery mode (Hold Cmd+R on boot) & access the Terminal. -* In that terminal run: - `csrutil disable` -* Reboot back into OS X -* Open your Terminal application and execute: - -```bash - sudo mkdir /usr/local && sudo chflags norestricted /usr/local && sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local -``` - -* Reboot back into Recovery Mode & access the Terminal again. -* In that terminal execute: - `csrutil enable` -* Reboot back into OS X & you'll be able to write to `/usr/local` & install Homebrew. |
