I had to re-install the xcode tools for some weird reason…

sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select -print-path)
xcode-select --install

That is listed in the bottom of the guide (https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/macOS_Catalina.md). So thank you!

@prasanthmaran1 this library contains a native addon for extra performance in node environments, what this means is that you should have a c compiler installed on your system. This is fairly common in the node ecosystem.

See instructions here: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-macos

In most cases this is as easy as running xcode-select --install on your mac.

Let me know if that works.

I had a similar issue with a different package:

node-gyp rebuild
No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables' found at '/'.
No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLILeo' found at '/'.
No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI' found at '/'.
gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected!
gyp ERR! configure error

Running on macOS Catalina 10.15.2, I tried:

$ xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, 
use "Software Update" to install updates

Fixed it by running the following:

$ [sudo] xcode-select --reset

I wouldn’t ever trust a sudo rm -rf $(smth) command. However, doing it it two steps solved the problem for me also:

> xcode-select -print-path
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
> sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Please don’t run rm -rf $(any command at all), ever!

Just run xcode-select -print-path, confirm the path, then sudo rm -rf that_path. What if the command errored and output a single / or the path to your home directory. Destruction would ensue! Fundamentally, the advice to reinstall xcode is good. Having to do it at all is not so good 😕

tomboland-vocovo on Dec 20, 2019

If you don’t want to re-install xcode, you can also point xcode-select to the existing installation:

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

Make sure to open xcode at least once after installation to accept the terms.

Looks like sudo xcode-select --reset fixed my issue without needing to reinstall Xcode entirely.

I hate that reinstalling the Xcode tools worked, but it did.

I bought a brand new MBP today and installed Xcode on it for the first time a few hours ago (and xcode-select reported the tools were already installed). Really have no idea why this is necessary. Thanks, internet friends 🙏

perfect work for me. using xcode-select --install on mac. Thank you.

gilbertomangones on Aug 20, 2019

I’ve fixed this by forcing npm to use a later version of node-gyp (at least version 7).

Install node-gyp globally npm install -g node-gyp
Confirm you’re on a version 7 or higher node-gyp -v
Get the path to the script which node-gyp
Update npm config to use this version of node-gyp npm config set node_gyp /path/from/previous/step

This is hopefully a more permanent solution than always needing to re-install xcode-select tools. Unfortunately that is something I’ve found myself having to do time and time again.

The only gotcha is that, in my case (using nvm to manage my node version), when I update node, I’ll have to update this config again. Still, I’d rather that than reinstall xcode-select every time.

Working good for me so far; YMMV.

This worked for me by only having to run xcode-select --reset. I would try this first before removing anything!

kevinnguy on Jan 21, 2020

Second time a row Catalina updates (10.15, 10.15.1) break CLT. Removing existing dir and re-installing CLT works, but it’s pretty annoying.

atipugin on Jun 3, 2020

This fixed it for me: First reset: sudo xcode-select -r Then accept license: sudo xcodebuild -license

ranasingh on Jan 3, 2020

It’s time for them to rename their X-code to XXX-code… Thank you very much, SK-CSE ! /usr/sbin/pkgutil --packages | grep CL resolves the issue on Catalina.

NickPepper on Nov 27, 2019

This issue keeps coming up for me every so often; likely tied to minor upgrades to OS X. xcode-select --reset does not seem to ever work for me. I end up resorting to a fresh install of the command line tools:

trash $(xcode-select -print-path)
xcode-select --install
# wait ten minutes... (◔_◔)

Good luck all!

nadnoslen on Apr 14, 2020

Avoid using this command ever sudo rm -rf .. For mac you can use something like trash installed with brew install trash then use it for all your command line deletions! i.e. trash (xcode-select -print-path)

dazuaz on Jan 14, 2020

I’m currently on Catalina, following the reinstall commands:
sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select -print-path)
xcode-select --install
I use fish as a shell and it didn’t like the $( …) command. Just wanted to mention that to work around it quickly, I just went into the Vscode terminal window and in the shell dropdown choose ‘select default shell’, choose a new shell from the top list (I used bash), then hit the ‘+’ to open a new bash console. Then I could follow the commands directly without wrecking my fish shell setup.

In Fish just drop the dollar!

sudo rm -rf (xcode-select -print-path)
xcode-select --install

kn100 on Dec 18, 2019

I previously went through the steps to fix the issue via command line, but the exact same issue popped up again later. This time I installed via the Xcode interface, which takes you to https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=for Xcode where you can download the latest tools under Command Line Tools for Xcode x.x. Fixed it for now, hopefully for good.

EDIT: It’s happened again after updating Xcode. Looks like you just need to open Xcode, get prompted with “Install additional required components?”, and click Install.

enderphan94 on Jan 16, 2020

I am having this error and nothing here has worked.

Had the same issue. Even after

sudo rm -rf (xcode-select -print-path)
xcode-select --install

I got the message

xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, 
use "Software Update" to install updates

Even sudo xcode-select --reset did not fix anything and basically I ended up with a partly uninstalled xcode so I couldn’t reinstall xcode from the app store too.

I used https://nektony.com/mac-app-cleaner to fully uninstall xcode and reinstalled xcode again from the app store. That worked out great.

Hope it helps to solve your problem too

sgentile on Mar 31, 2020

The only thing which helps me is to install CLI Tools manually from the Apple developers website. But I have to do this every time I update my macOS. It’s horrible! 😦

guar47 on Feb 12, 2020

Thanks @kaiwoods. I use asdf and bump into this as I dance around projects with different versions of node. For my asdf world I needed to asdf which node-gyp to fetch the proper node-gyp path (regular which will give you the asdf shim). Hope that helps asdf users. And seriously, thanks @kaiwoods!!!

If you have a server response problem after xcode-select --install command.

Download the Command Line Tools for Xcode directly from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

Tony-S201 on Oct 28, 2020

My xcode recently updated and I ran into this problem for the second time. Instead of re-installing which I did the first time, I ran sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer to point to the existing install location like @nwittstruck mentioned.

Worked perfect, thanks!
