Using Linyxbrew on university servers

On the university server azteca or inca (must use vpn or sassh through-pass)

export http_proxy=proxy.univ-tlse3.fr:3128
export https_proxy=proxy.univ-tlse3.fr:3128

Then,

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install)"

But on linux with gcc-4.4.7 only, I had also to follow the instructions on https://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core/issues/4077. It will

first install glibc 2.20
install gcc-5 and others

then upgrade to glibc 2.23

brew install --only-dependencies glibc
brew install --ignore-dependencies https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core/6fb5dfd50895416bea3d00628b8d3b41fa1f4f32/Formula/glibc.rb # 2.20
brew install --ignore-dependencies xz gmp mpfr libmpc isl gcc
brew upgrade glibc

Then I also got on the last brew upgrade glibc an ‘Illegal instruction’; the issue is mentionned in

The error was:

To install gmp 6.1.1:

To avoid ‘brew updating…’ all the time:

export HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1
