I want to install httpd using Homebrew but I keep getting this error - 

Error: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - /tmp/github_api_headers20180612-63207-1943ua6

I tried - sudo chmod -R 1777 /tmp but that is not working

This is the current permission set for /tmp

drwxr-xr-x    8 _mysql  _mysql   256 Jun 12 18:39 tmp

Here is some information on my mac air

System Version: macOS 10.13.5 (17F77) 
Kernel Version: Darwin 17.6.0

Even when I attempt to update ruby it gives me this error

How can I correct this issue?

  • did you try the install command with sudo instead of changing the permission of `/tmp` folder? – Subash Jun 13 '18 at 00:13
  • @Subash I did and it gave me `Error: Running Homebrew as root is extremely dangerous and no longer supported. As Homebrew does not drop privileges on installation you would be giving all build scripts full access to your system.` – Queu Jun 13 '18 at 00:39
