I'm trying to install Homebrew on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5), via these two methods:

  1. git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/brew.git. The error I get is:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Homebrew/brew.git/': error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version

  1. By downloading the .zip archive and running /usr/local/homebrew/bin/brew install wget. Same error:

error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert
protocol version while accessing https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack

I'm using Git version 1.8.4.2 since I'm on a legacy version of OS X. Is there any way I can tweak the SSL settings to make this work?

TO REITERATE: I am unable to run git higher than 1.8.4.2 because I'm on a legacy OS X. Therefore, telling me to update to a newer version of git kinda shows you didn't read or understand the question in the first place.

Update your version of git to at least 2.16.3 due to security protocols removed by github.com
