Installing brew on linux without sudo and older version git and curl

Question

I don't have the sudo permission, I have installed brew. I have two different git /usr/bin/git (1.8.3.1) and /grid/common/bin/git(2.30.0) I want to use newer one. How can I make it.

Another is the same issue for curl

In csh shell:

>which git
/grid/common/bin/git

>brew --env
Error: Please update your system curl.
Minimum required version: 7.41.0
Your curl version: 7.29.0
Your curl executable:

You can either create a symlink or an alias to link to the desired version of curl and added into your shell profile (like ~/.bash_profile ).

Here is what I would do:

• echo "alias git=/grid/common/bin/git" >> ~/.bash_profile
• echo "alias curl=/home/jintaol/app/curl" >> ~/.bash_profile
