How to Install Homebrew on Debian-based Distros

Steps required to install Homebrew on MX Linux (and other Debian-based distros)

Steps

```
 apt update

apt full-upgrade # optional, reboot if needed

After Sierra upgrade, all my JDK were removed. So here is how I reinstalled all of them with only brew commands, and manage them with jEnv.

First do all your mac updates (especially XCode), then:

Install Brew:

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


	# ref to open stack rc containing envvars and credentials
	OPENSTACKRC=./openstackrc.sh


	#
	# Functions
	#

	connect(){

	#!/bin/bash
	# get size of tgz in kilobytes:
	# tar -czf - comingsoon.20230202-040946.tgz \| wc -c
	# handle remove leading / from member warning
	# #tar czfP ./htdocs.tgz ../../htdocs

	NOW=$( date '+%F_%H:%M:%S' )
	TIMESPAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
	UP_DIR=../
	# -- Dir Paths

	rem see https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/issues/300

	@echo off
	SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

	if [%1] == [] (
	echo Pass in the version you would like to install, or "latest" to install the latest npm version.
	) else (
	set wanted_version=%1

	[unix_http_server]
	file=/tmp/supervisor.sock ; path to your socket file

	[supervisord]
	logfile=/var/log/supervisord/supervisord.log ; supervisord log file
	logfile_maxbytes=50MB ; maximum size of logfile before rotation
	logfile_backups=10 ; number of backed up logfiles
	loglevel=error ; info, debug, warn, trace
	pidfile=/var/run/supervisord.pid ; pidfile location
	nodaemon=false ; run supervisord as a daemon

	// npm i gulp event-stream

	var gulp = require('gulp');
	var es = require('event-stream');

	gulp.task('test', function(cb) {
	return es.concat(
	gulp.src('bootstrap/js/*.js')
	.pipe(gulp.dest('public/bootstrap')),
	gulp.src('jquery.cookie/jquery.cookie.js')

	#!/usr/bin/env node

	// -- required imports
	var os = require('os');

	console.log("Execution of zeusbase remote operation started.");

	// -- perform task
	console.log("Platform: " + os.platform());
	console.log("Architecture: " + os.arch());
