How to install an homebrew package behind a proxy?

Question

I'm working behind a proxy. When I installed homebrew I've modified the official command:

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

by adding a -x option to tell curl about the proxy:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -x proxy.mydomain.com:3128 -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

and it works well. But now I want to install openssl:

brew install openssl

and logically, the proxy is not detected:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to homebrew.bintray.com port 443: Connection refused
Error: Failed to download resource "openssl"

If I set the environment variables as described in the documentation:

http_proxy=proxy.mydomain.com:3128
HTTPS_PROXY=proxy.mydomain.com:3128
ALL_PROXY=proxy.mydomain.com:3128

I obtain the same error. Adding http: or https: before doesn't change the problem.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

To run Homebrew or Curl behind a proxy :

export ALL_PROXY=$http_proxy:port 

or

export ALL_PROXY=proxyIP:port

After this is done, installation worked smoothly.

Answer 2

Try run brew like this:

http_proxy=https://user:password@proxy:port https_proxy=https://user:password@proxy:port brew install PACKAGE

Answer 3

For SOCKS5 proxy:

ALL_PROXY=socks5://127.0.0.1:9001 brew upgrade

Answer 4

all_proxy=<proxy_domain>:<port> brew install <package>

I didn't explicitly include the http:// or https:// prefix in the proxy domain. Worked for me with macOS Sierra and Homebrew 1.2.4.

Answer 5

In terminal, type this:

http_proxy=http://IP:PORT https_proxy=http://IP:PORT brew install PACKAGE

for me, was behind IIIT proxy and trying to install python3, so this worked:

http_proxy=http://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080 https_proxy=http://proxy.iiit.ac.in:8080 brew install python3
