I am trying to download Hydra in Terminal with Homebrew on my imac but it gives me this error:

You must `brew link makedepend` before hydra can be installed

And when I run:

brew link makedepend

It says:

Error: Could not symlink .
/usr/local/opt is not writable.

And if i use sudo it says:

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.

Can someone help me thank you!

Run brew update first, and then brew doctor. It will likely ask you to use chmod on /usr/local/. Follow its instructions.
