How come xcversion is not found?

[neilpanchal]

I found an obvious problem, compiled gems were not in the PATH. I added the following lines to my .bash_profile:

export GEM_HOME=~/.gem
export GEM_PATH=~/.gem
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.gem/bin

Closing the issue.

I was having the same issue and I tried your answer and it worked in so far as I was able to use diversion, but now pod install doesn't work for me.

I had to install ruby with home-brew in order to successfully run gem install xcode-install . Do you think that this, in combination with your suggestion could be the cause of my problems?

I am facing same issue even after updating bash profile.

@SwatiMaheshwari nowadays modern macOS defaults to zsh instead of bash, so you have to update your ~/.zshrc instead of your bash profile file.
