尝试在 macOS Sierra 上安装 Homebrew 时出现 xcode-select 错误

Question

While trying to install Homebrew on macOS Sierra:

xcode-select: error: invalid developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' 
Failed during: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Answer 1

I had the same error and the only way I could get around it was to install the Xcode command line tools manually by downloading them directly from developer.apple.com. Once installed the brew install worked without issue.

Answer 2

Yes , i have solved this error by using following steps.

1. In your terminal write command :: xcode-select --install
2. after doing step no 1 you will get one popUp , so click on install

Answer 3

Unfortunately I can't make comments, so I'll post it as an answer:

If selecting the correct Xcode version for Homebrew is what you are trying to achieve, then try this:

For Xcode release:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

For Xcode beta:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer

Answer 4

我通过安装最新版本的 Xcode 解决了这个错误。

Answer 5

Answer 7

I tried installing Command Line Tools manually, but Command Line Tools get failed while installing. Reinstalling XCode did not help at all.

So I attempted below command helped me resolve this error on Big Sur 11.2.1 (20D74)

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

sudo xcode-select --install

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh )"
