## Alternative Installs
### OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) and below
Because GitHub now only allows clients that support TLS 1.2 to access repositories over HTTPS, the Homebrew installer will use the Git protocol when run on systems older than OS X Mavericks (10.9). This requires the availability of a `git` binary, which can be provided by pre-installing the [Command Line Tools for Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/download/more/). Homebrew will also require the Command Line Tools or Xcode in order to automatically compile and install a newer `curl` and `git` with support for TLS 1.2.
### Linux or Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux
Check out [the Linuxbrew installation documentation](Linuxbrew.md).
### Untar anywhere
Just extract (or `git clone`) Homebrew wherever you want. Just avoid:

# Linuxbrew
The Homebrew package manager may be used on Linux and Windows 10, using [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about). Homebrew is referred to as Linuxbrew when running on Linux or Windows. It can be installed in your home directory, in which case it does not use *sudo*. Linuxbrew does not use any libraries provided by your host system, except *glibc* and *gcc* if they are new enough. Linuxbrew can install its own current versions of *glibc* and *gcc* for older distribution of Linux.
