This is the output shown in my command line ~ % /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL )" One of the methods required me to errase the folder /opt/homebrew and then install homebrew via /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL )" (specified in brew.sh website).

I then tried fixing this issue following different methods such as adding opt/homebrew/bin/ to the PATH, adding export PATH="$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin/" However, I first tried using homebrew and got Note: After installing Xcode, I launched it, accepted license agreement and let it finish its run of installing additional tools (which is a one time activity).I need to install homebrew to install different software packages in my computer. What is the advisable approach to take here?


Here's the complete picture (pardon the pun):Īlthough I am talking in context of macOS Mojave, the question remains the same with regard to previous versions of macOS. when running brew config, the value for CLT: is shown as N/A. Also, from my previous experience, if the Command Line Tools aren't installed separately from Xcode (by running xcode-select -install), they are not detected by Homebrew, i.e. What's the probable reason for this disparity? Will this install Xcode Command Line Tools twice? Or overwrite the existing installation?Īs I understand, Xcode Command Line Tools can be installed without installing Xcode. Thus far I am convinced that the Xcode Command Line Tools are installed. I also ran, gcc and make and bash was able to locate and execute them. Which printed the path for the Developer directory as follows: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/DeveloperĪs suggested in the answer, I also verified the return value by running: Or not?Īs per this answer, I checked if the Command Line Tools are installed by running: My understanding is that installing Xcode also installs the Command Line Tools. Now, I wish to install Homebrew which requires Xcode Command Line Tools to be installed.

Immediately after that I installed Xcode Version 10.0 (10A255) from the Mac App Store. I performed a fresh install of macOS Mojave 10.14.
