Can't install Homebrew? (sorry total noob question) #128

Hi, I decided to try to learn how to code with python, and am trying to follow introtopython.org's curriculum. I've managed to get stuck on the set-up even before the curriculum starts. I went to homebrew's website, which wants me to install homebrew by pasting: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)" in terminal. When I do so, a new line appears that says "Password" with an image of a key next to it. I guessed this meant I had to type my administrator password in to download the software. However, when I started typing my password on my keyboard, nothing happens / shows up on the screen. If I press enter it registers as a failed attempt, but none of my letter presses do anything. What should I do in order to input my password / finish downloading homebrew? |

Hi there! This is normal: the terminal won't display anything to protect your password, but it will still register the keystrokes. If you type your password and then hit enter, even though nothing has shown up, the script should continue. |
