How to install Python on macOS Catalina using homebrew? I'm trying to install Python 3 in macOS Catalina (10.15.3 (19D76)) using homebrew but it is giving the below error:

dmanna-a01:operations dmanna$ brew install python3
==&gt; Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/python-3.7.6_1.catalina.bottle.tar.gz

Brew Version

dmanna-a01:operations dmanna$ brew -v
Homebrew 2.2.5
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 028f1; last commit 2020-02-10)
chown the usr/local directory:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local


Then try to install python3 again and it should work:

brew install python3


OR,

You can try this also if the above solution didn't help 

sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/*
