This is not httpie's fault. Your system isn't configured to allow you to install anything in /usr/local most likely and that's something you need to fix.

@sigmavirus24 hmm... other packages is ok.

[sigmavirus24]

Please read your output more closely. This is directly related to ==> Pouring python3-3.6.4_1.high_sierra.bottle.tar.gz

@dobeerman this is a Homebrew related issue. Try running $ brew doctor.

Just Run below command

1)brew doctor

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

3)sudo install -d -o $(whoami) -g admin /usr/local/Frameworks

note the $(brew --prefix)/* ...High Sierra doesn't allow you to change permissions on /user/local directly)

Your problem will solved 100%.

For others who have the same problem on linking different package like dbgm

1. check Error: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - [FOLDER_NEED_PERMISSION]
2. then grant permission as @yogeshpatil143 said

sudo install -d -o $(whoami) -g admin [FOLDER_NEED_PERMISSION]

=> grant permission to the folder [FOLDER_NEED_PERMISSION]

[yogeshpatil143]

Yes you are correct my dear friend.. @KiengKnot ..
