I tried uninstalling and reinstalling xcode but it didn`t work. What can I do? Fixing “The `xcodebuild` tool requires Xcode” without installing Xcode, sudo mv xcrun xcrun.old sudo mv xcodebuild xcodebuild.old. 3. Rebuild and fill with the required content sudo echo -e `#!/bin/shn$@` > xcrun sudo sudo xcodebuild -license, which it should display/accept on behalf of all accounts on that particular Mac. In newer versions of Xcode, you can accept it in one step: sudo xcodebuild -license accept Works using macOS Catalina 10.15 and Xcode 11.5. sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer sudo xcodebuild -license accept xcode-select refuses to fail, find out that I would like to use xcodebuild version 7 Beta 5 to see if any command line swtiches have been added now. However, xcode-select refuses to use xcode-select –install: no developer tools were found I upgraded my Macbook from OS X 10.10 to 10.11 and updated Xcode via the App Store (to version 7.0.1 build 7A1001). Running “Consent to Xcode/iOS license requires admin, opening XCode and accepting the license solves the problem. Consent to Xcode/iOS license requires administrator rights, please run it again as root via sudo. A new version of OSX or I had the same problem when I tried to use git. It is possible to install git without it. And I doubt that gcc on Mac really depends on XCode.
And I don`t want to use root to accept anything unless I`m sure I need it. I uninstalled XCode by going to the app folder and dragging XCode to the Trash. Now my Git commands are working as usual. I will reinstall XCode if/when I really need it. You can also try activating command-line tools designed to avoid the problem of license acceptance: Xcode Command Line Tools · macOS Sierra · Install, Command Line Tools package provides Mac terminal users with many commonly used tools, utilities, and compilers, including make, GCC, clang, perl Xcode comes with all your command-line tools. macOS 10.9 and later includes executable shims or wrapper files. These wedges installed in /usr/bin can map any tool contained in /usr/bin to the corresponding tool in Xcode. xcrun is one of those shims that allows you to find or run any tool in Xcode from the command line. If you have multiple versions of Xcode, you must accept different versions of the contract. There are two important ideas you should know about it: How it works, as others have pointed out: You can sign up for free as an Apple developer; The development IDE (Xcode) is free and available on any Mac…
