Mac install - homebrew refuses to run as root

[bsyk]

Following the install guide for OS X
The command ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://www.nativescript.org/setup/mac)" tries to run homebrew with sudo privileges, which is no longer supported. The install script halts at this point.

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.

I am facing the same issue. @bsyk - were you able to figure out a workaround?

I did not find a work around. I tried for a while with different ways of calling the script and editing the script, but gave up.
I got going with NativeScript by looking through the install script and manually running all the commands in my shell.
Going back through my bash history, these are the commands I used. Note: I already had xcode and homebrew installed:

brew cask install java
echo "export JAVA_HOME=$(/Library/Java/Home)" >> ~/.profile
brew install android-sdk
echo "export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/opt/android-sdk" >> ~/.profile
mkdir -p ~/.cocoapods
gem install xcodeproj -V
gem install cocoapods -V
echo y | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android update sdk --filter platform-tools --all --no-ui
echo y | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android update sdk --filter tools --all --no-ui
echo y | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android update sdk --filter android-23 --all --no-ui
echo y | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android update sdk --filter build-tools-24.0.2 --all --no-ui
echo y | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android update sdk --filter build-tools-23.0.3 --all --no-ui
echo y | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android update sdk --filter extra-android-m2repository --all --no-ui
echo y | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android update sdk --filter extra-google-m2repository --all --no-ui
echo y | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android update sdk --filter extra-intel-Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager --all --no-ui
sudo /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/silent_install.sh 
echo y | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android update sdk --filter sys-img-x86-android-23 --all --no-ui
echo no | /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/android create avd -n Emulator-Api23-Default -t android-23 --abi default/x86 -c 12M -f
tns doctor
