@fossette, I am also using ns 7.0.11. When I run 'ns doctor' again, it does ask me whether I want to proceed before each step though. E.g.
Do you have Xcode installed? (y/n)
Allow the script to install Homebrew? (Y)es/(N)o
Allow the script to install Google Chrome? (Y)es/(N)o.... etc.
So I can respond with a 'N' to skip any step that I don't need to reinstall. Not sure why your experience is different though.
I also experimented with Yes/No module installs, @sr3dna , but what I meant to say is why ask to install these packages, that you mention as an example, when they are already installed and up to date? It's not necessary, and confusing to a point.
Also, I seem to recall having said NO to a re-install option, and the process seemed to "install" something. I can't give a specific example at this time because I addressed the CocoaPods warning after creating this feature request.
I see. My guess is, the NS team wants to give us a chance to 'reinstall' any step if we want to. I agree though, the message could be more elaborate to avoid any confusion.
Environment
With such a result from
ns doctor
:It would be appreciated for successfully installed packages/modules to not be re-installed again. At worst, to offer the user a possibility to select NO on an individual basis. Re-installing sometimes is a huge burden on a limited bandwidth Internet connection, and it also wastes a huge amount of time.
