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.
