Just run the following line in your favorite terminal application:

echo export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile

Restart your terminal and run

brew doctor

To avoid unnecessary duplication  I added the following to my    bash profile  case    PATH   in      usr local bin             do nothing if  PATH already contains  usr local bin      PATH  usr local bin  PATH       in every other case  add it to the front esac   Credit  https   superuser com a 580611

There are many ways to update your path  Jun1st answer works great  Another method is to augment your  bash profile to have   export PATH   usr local bin  usr local sbin   bin  PATH    The line above places  usr local bin and  usr local sbin in front of your  PATH  Once you source your  bash profile or start a new terminal you can verify your path by echo ing it out     echo  PATH  usr local bin  usr local sbin  Users  lt your account gt  bin  usr bin  bin  usr sbin  sbin  usr local bin  usr X11 bin   Once satisfied with the result running   brew doctor again should no longer produce your error   This blog post helped me out in resolving issues I ran into  http   moncefbelyamani com how-to-install-xcode-homebrew-git-rvm-ruby-on-mac
