Can't install Homebrew on MacBook Pro, password field won't input I need to install Homebrew. I am unable to input the password when prompted in the Terminal - nothing happens when I type, only when I hit enter. I follow the instructions specified in the book I'm reading (Byte of Python). First, I enter:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"


I get:

Press ENTER to continue or any other key to abort tests
MacBook-Pro:.ssh kevinadler$ organization21
bash: organization21: command not found tests
MacBook-Pro:.ssh kevinadler$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"

Any ideas how to enable me to enter my password?
Correct. The password does not show up its appearance, but you just type it correctly anyway, and then it'll bring you to the next "Intallation successful". Good luck.
