DNS lookup for the Git host failed from this machine.
Homebrew: Error: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Cellar / /opt/homebrew is not writable
Homebrew can't write to its prefix because the folders are owned by another user or root.
Homebrew: Error: No available formula with the name "x". Did you mean ...?
Homebrew can't find a formula or cask with that name in the taps it knows.
Homebrew: Error: Your Command Line Tools (CLT) are too outdated. Update them from Software Update / Please update to the latest macOS
Homebrew requires a newer Command Line Tools version than the one installed.

A cask install failed because the app is already installed manually (or a leftover exists).
macOS (Apple Silicon): zsh: bad CPU type in executable: ./tool
You ran an Intel (x86_64) program on an Apple Silicon Mac without Rosetta 2 (or an arm64 binary on an Intel Mac).

macOS ships BSD `sed`, where `-i` requires a backup-suffix argument, unlike GNU sed on Linux.
Two steps away (20)
HTTP 407 Proxy Authentication Required
A proxy between you and the server requires credentials before it will forward your request.
HTTP 408 Request Timeout
The server closed the connection because the client took too long to send the complete request.
API Request Timed Out (ETIMEDOUT / ReadTimeout / timeout of 30000ms exceeded)
The client gave up waiting — either for the connection to open or for the response to arrive.
npm ERR! code EACCES — permission denied
npm can’t write to a directory — usually global installs into a root-owned folder.
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
The docker CLI can’t talk to the Docker engine — it isn’t running, or your user can’t access the socket.
user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
Your account isn’t allowed to use sudo.
macOS: zsh: command not found: brew (Homebrew not on PATH on Apple Silicon)
Homebrew is installed in /opt/homebrew on Apple Silicon Macs, which isn’t on PATH until you add its shellenv line.
zsh: compinit: insecure directories, run compaudit for list. Ignore insecure directories and continue [y] or abort compinit [n]?
zsh refuses to load completions from directories owned by another user or writable by others.
zsh: no matches found: package[extra] (glob pattern not matched)
zsh treats `[ ]`, `*` or `?` in an argument as a glob and fails when nothing matches, unlike bash which passes the text through.
gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected!
node-gyp on macOS can’t find the Xcode Command Line Tools to compile native modules.
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun
The Xcode Command Line Tools are missing or broken — typical right after a macOS update.
macOS: Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please run "sudo xcodebuild -license" and then retry this command
A new Xcode (or CLT) version needs its license accepted before command-line tools run.
macOS: xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance
A command needs the full Xcode app, but `xcode-select` points to the Command Line Tools only.
macOS: “app” cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software / Apple could not verify “app” is free of malware that may harm your Mac
Gatekeeper blocked an app that is not notarized by Apple.
macOS: “app” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer
Gatekeeper refuses to open an app that isn't signed with a registered Developer ID.
exec /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: exec format error
The container tried to run a binary built for a different CPU architecture (arm64 vs amd64) — or a script with a broken shebang /…
macOS: dlopen: mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64')
A library or binary was built for a different CPU architecture than the process loading it.
macOS: dyld[123]: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib — Reason: tried: ... (no such file)
A program needs a dynamic library that is missing or was moved/removed (often after a Homebrew upgrade).
bash: command not found
The shell can’t find an executable with that name in any directory on your PATH.
macOS: date: illegal option -- d / readlink: illegal option -- f / grep: invalid option -- P
macOS uses BSD versions of core tools, which lack many GNU flags that Linux scripts rely on.
