Need sudo access on macOS - Installing Hashcat through Brew

I am trying to install Hashcat using the instructions on Brew: https://brewinstall.org/install-hashcat-on-mac-with-brew/

When I enter the first command: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null on terminal, it says: Need sudo access on macOS (e.g. the user myname to be an Administrator)!

However, I am already an administrator when I check in Users&Groups in Systems Preferences. Typing sudo whoami also gives me back root

Can someone please help me out with this?

I'm pretty sure all you have to do is add sudo in front of the command like this:

sudo ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
