brew update fails with “Permission denied” error
I have been trying to upgrade my brew installation on Mac and it always fails with the following error:
Error: An unexpected error occurred during the `brew link` step
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks
Error: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks
I do not want to run brew as sudo, but is there a way to fix this error? I'm not able to install Python3 which is my ultimate goal. Is there another way to install Pythion3 on Mc other than brew? Is there any resolution for this problem here?
EDIT: I tried to remove python3 and tried to re install it again and this time it fails with some other message:
==> Pouring python-3.6.5.high_sierra.bottle.1.tar.gz
Error: An unexpected error occurred during the `brew link` step
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks
Error: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks

Please be specific in your question title; "Issue with brew update on Mac" is too vague. I edited it to make it a bit clearer. Also, FYI the [brew] tag has nothing to do with Homebrew.

Try to change owner of /usr/local.
if you use macOS High Sierra try this command:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*
if you use macOS Sierra or lower:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local

In Mac OSX Mojave, installing Python3, I solved this issue by the following:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/Frameworks
sudo chown -R user:group /usr/local/Frameworks/
brew link python
Where user and group are specified as set by the OS. You can find out what user/group values should be by doing:
ls -al /usr/local
And then python3 was successfully installed:

In Mac OSX Mojave, installing Python3, I solved this issue by the following:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/Frameworks
sudo chown -R user:group /usr/local/Frameworks/
brew link python
Where user and group are specified as set by the OS. You can find out what user/group values should be by doing:
ls -al /usr/local
And then python3 was successfully installed:
