The command uses curl to download the Homebrew installation script from Homebrew’s Git repository on GitHub.

#Install xcode install#

To install Homebrew, type this command into your Terminal window: We’ll use Homebrew to install the most recent version of Node.js.

Homebrew is a free and open-source software package managing system that simplifies the installation of software on macOS.

They keep the software they install in a central location and can maintain all software packages on the system in formats that are commonly used. A package manager is a collection of software tools that work to automate software installations, configurations, and upgrades. While the command line interface on macOS has a lot of the functionality you’d find in Linux and other Unix systems, it does not ship with a good package manager. Step 3 - Installing and Setting Up Homebrew We’re now ready to install the package manager Homebrew, which will let us install the latest version of Node.js. Then the tools will download and install automatically. You’ll be prompted to start the installation, and then prompted again to accept a software license. You won’t need Xcode to write Node.js programs, but Node.js and some of its components will rely on Xcode’s Command Line Tools package.Įxecute this command in the Terminal to download and install these components:

Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE) that is comprised of software development tools for macOS. Step 2 - Installing Xcode’s Command Line Tools Now that you have the Terminal running, let’s install some prerequisites we’ll need for Node.js. The command line interface on macOS is very similar, and the concepts in that tutorial are directly applicable. If you’d like to get comfortable using the command line, take a look at ( ). Alternatively, you can use Spotlight by holding down the COMMAND key and pressing SPACE to find Terminal by typing it out in the box that appears. From here, double-click the Terminal application to open it up. Like any other application, you can find it by going into Finder, navigating to the Applications folder, and then into the Utilities folder. To access the command line interface, you’ll use the Terminal application provided by macOS. The command line, also known as a shell, lets you automate many tasks you do on your computer daily, and is an essential tool for software developers. Instead of clicking buttons with your mouse, you’ll type commands as text and receive text-based feedback. The command line is a non-graphical way to interact with your computer. You’ll use the command line to install Node.js and run various commands related to developing Node.js applications. You will need a macOS computer running High Sierra or higher with administrative access and an internet connection. In this tutorial, you’ll set up a Node.js programming environment on your local macOS machine using Homebrew, and you’ll test your environment out by writing a simple Node.js program. It’s also the runtime that powers many client-side development tools for modern JavaScript frameworks. I would advise opening Xcode up, open Preferences in the menu, navigate to the Locations tab and then under Command Line Tools make sure that you have selected the tools that are inside the Xcode app is an open source JavaScript runtime environment for easily building server-side applications. This can be handled very easily using the Xcodes app (note the 's' at the end of the name).

Professional programmers often find themselves in situations where they need to have multiple versions of Xcode installed at the same time, and by extension of that, multiple versions of the associated command-line tools. The one installed globally to be used in the Terminal, for example HomeBrew is not the same as the one Xcode uses (by default).Īs such, there's no contradiction in you being able to use command-line tools with HomeBrew to compile programs, while Xcode complains that its command line tools needs upgrading or are missing.Īlso note that it is possible to have multiple versions of these command-line tools on your computer at the same time. You haven't given enough information that we can give a definite fix, but I can help you along the way:įirst, it is important to understand that there are multiple sets of 'command-line tools' in play.
