Ubertooth and Brew

I picked up the ubertooth one at ShmooCon to continue my quest to break err review medical and fitness devices. I had it working pretty quickly in a VM that Russ H gave me. I needed t flash the firmware to a newer version and decided to do it from host OS.

The setup required several packages to be installed via brew. Easy enough... Except there's tons of tutorials for setting up brew and almost all of them are wrong!!!
This is what did work "ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"" .

Thank you http://brew.sh/ and http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/installing-homebrew-os-x-yosemite-10-10-package-manager-unix-apps/ for maintaining accurate tutorials. The github repository maintainers for projects that use brew to install should really consider at least linking to the setup in the help section.  ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
