Ruby

Running into error installing homebrew

Hey all, I could really use some help with this. i just signed up here, started ruby basics, and can't even get going because I can't for the life of me figure out how to get homebrew installed. I'm on a mac, and in the video, it says paste the homebrew install line into terminal, run it...here is what I'm putting into terminal, from the homebrew site: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

I get this error in terminal: Failed during: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select --install

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Why don't they say that in the video? kinda confusing on tree houses part, I was following through all the steps as they said them...downloading Xcode 5.0 now, hopefully it works!

Make sure you have ruby 1.9.3 or later, as well as Xcode installed.

Yeah, installing Xcode as a requirement was never mentioned. They should definitely include this.
