Error installing homebrew on mac (curl: (6) Could not resolve host: raw.githubusercontent.com)

Question

I am trying to following instructions on homebrew homepage but the following

ruby -e \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/ins         


        

Answer 1

Setting proxy with Username, password and port number worked for me

 export http_proxy=http://::
 export https_proxy=http_proxy

After that simply execute

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
