it looks like you are trying to install homebrew using the command line. Paste in the code into terminal from the homebrew site.

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

It will ask for your password. type in your password that you use to log in to your computer. (you wont be able to see what you are typing however) Once done typing your password press enter

homebrew works fine, however I feel RVM is the best solution to managing ruby versions.
