Warning: Running in non-interactive mode because `stdin` is not a TTY.
==> Checking for `sudo` access (which may request your password)...
Need sudo access on macOS (e.g. the user test needs to be an Administrator)!No way to enter password, script terminates. After manually installing homebrew things continue fine.

Both problems come from
curl | basheating stdin — thereadprompt before Xcode CLT never gets input, and Homebrew sees no TTY so it bails on sudo.Fixed in v0.38.0: the script does
exec < /dev/ttyat the top to reconnect stdin to the terminal. Xcode dialog, sudo prompts, and everything else should work now on a clean install. Give it a shot and let me know?UnderpantsGnome commentedon Mar 16, 2026
