body: <p>Setup iMac OSX 10.7.4, </p>
  
  <p>Hi there,</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to install Homebrew on my iMac but I keep getting an error. I am following the instructions on <a href="https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/installation" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/installation</a></p>
  
  <p>I have Xcode installed and the Java Developer update which it specifies on the website. </p>
  
  <p>I open Terminal and paste </p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(/usr/bin/curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/master/Library/Contributions/install_homebrew.rb)"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I keep getting the error </p>
  
  <pre><code>curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Has anyone any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>Just to add I am on a college network incase its relevant </p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I have also reinstalled Curl </p>
