Can I use Homebrew on Ubuntu?

Question

I just tried to use Homebrew and Linuxbrew to install packages on my Ubuntu Server but both failed. This is how I tried to install them:

sudo apt-get install bui         


        

Answer 1

Because all previous answers doesn't work for me for ubuntu 14.04 here what I did, if any one get the same problem:

git clone https://github.com/Linuxbrew/brew.git ~/.linuxbrew
PATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH"
export MANPATH="$(brew --prefix)/share/man:$MANPATH"
export INFOPATH="$(brew --prefix)/share/info:$INFOPATH"

then

sudo apt-get install gawk
sudo yum install gawk
brew install hello
