Getting the Error 'curl: (35) LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN in connection to raw.githubusercontent.com:443' in Mac Terminal when trying to install the HomeBrew. Using Mac OS - Venture 13.0.1 I am not using any VPN/Anti virus/proxy. Any help in resolving this error is appreciated.

si@MacBook-Pro ~ % /bin/bash -c "$(curl -v -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

  • Trying 49.205.171.201:443...
  • Connected to raw.githubusercontent.com (49.205.171.201) port 443 (#0)
  • ALPN: offers h2
  • ALPN: offers http/1.1
  • CAfile: /etc/ssl/cert.pem
  • CApath: none
  • (304) (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1): } [330 bytes data]

  • Closing connection 0 curl: (35) LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN in connection to raw.githubusercontent.com:443

I tried curl command with --ciphers ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 and ALL by searching in some websites, but it didn't work.

These steps solved this problem for me

Manually configure hosts:

To modify the host's file on a macOS system:

  1. Open the Finder.
  2. Use the key combination Shift+Command+G to open "Go to Folder", and enter /etc/hosts in the input box. This will open the location of the host's file.
  3. Copy the host's file to the desktop, right-click it, and select "Open with" - "Text Editing".
  4. Open the host's file and copy in the previous content.
  5. Add a new line after the host's file and enter 185.199.108.133 raw.githubusercontent.com.
  6. Save the modified host file. Note: If you are using VS Code, you can modify and save the host's file directly in VS Code without the need to copy it to the desktop first.
