I have been trying to install some Python packages using terminal on mac and have fallen at the first hurdle when trying to install homebrew. When I attempt to install it I get the following message that I don't know how to resolve.

Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

You need to first uninstall homebrew and then install it again.

For uninstalling Homebrew in MacOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur, and MacOS Mojave:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"

For uninstalling Homebrew from MacOS High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, and earlier:

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