@HoangThongBui you need to install x-code command line tools , see a guide like http://railsapps.github.io/xcode-command-line-tools.html

ghost commented 6 years ago

I have Xcode already sir, latest version

iurimatias commented 6 years ago

hi @HoangThongBui this is a issue specific to the scrypt package (try npm -g install scrypt), and the log provided indicates there is also an issue with your Xcode installation "error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode,". I've seen this before, and it's always an issue with x-code or the dev not installing the command line tools option for x-code

this did the work for me http://osxdaily.com/2014/02/12/install-command-line-tools-mac-os-x/. I hope it helps you too.

@CamposBruno This definitely worked for me, thanks a lot!

Hi @iurimatias and @CamposBruno Just wanted to say thank you for your posts here. Took me hours to figure out how to install web3 1.0.0 on Node 10.15 on mac. Seems like I just didn't have Xcode.

@UVStudio I have the latest version of Xcode but I’m still getting error msgs. When I do "npm install - -save web3" there are a bunch of web3 packages that gets added inside the node_modules folder but I still get a lot of error msgs and web3 does not get added to the dependencies list inside the package.json file like it should. Were you having this problem at first?
