Problem

I installed homebrew using my other user account (which I use during work), but it is impossible to install software from my newly created personal account: A shows that the directory is owned by my other user account. How do I configure homebrew to allow multiple users to install software?

Error Output

$ brew install unrar
Error: Cannot write to /usr/local/Cellar

set for each user first. (.basrc or .profile or .bash_profile) then give write permission for groups via recursively: then change the owner to now, each user, who is in group can use and other brew related operations... Mostly every user is in that …
