I had tons of issues with this. For one thing, I couldn't download homebrew, and the website beginrescueend.com is gone

I had issues with the prompt download - it didn't just start the download for homebrew, I was prompted for my password, at which point it wouldn't allow me to enter anything (except hit return) on the prompt. Did anyone else have this issue?

If there's an easier way to do all these downloads, I'd appreciate it. I got as far as the osx-gcc-installer

By "it wouldn't let me enter anything" do you mean nothing showed when you typed the sudo password? when typing the sudo password nothing shows up. you just type it and hit enter.

As in my username password for my computer? It wasn't accepting it. I assumed it wasn't showing it for security reasons so I tried that, but it still want taking it...

The password prompt pops up after you use any sudo command then you just enter your computer password. If it didn't take that then I am sorry I have no idea.

IDEA!!! Is this what you typed in the prompt?

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
