Save mxcl/323731 to your computer and use it in GitHub Desktop.
Installs Homebrew to /usr/local so you don't need sudo to `brew install`
I'll remove the su, bit. Since apparently people don't realise what it means. Nobody understands unix anymore.
I understand Unix and it confused me.
The script says:
If you still want to use this script set your user to be an Administrator in System Preferences or `su'.
It should be more specific and say to su as an administrator user. I figured that root was effectively an administrator, because I'm new to MacOS. The language just isn't precise.
I have amended it as you suggested. Thanks.

Ideally instead of saying "use
su", this script should say "su to a non-root admin user". It got me confused when it said to just usesu, and then said "don't run this as root".
