I want to downgrade the swiftlint version on my MBP M1 Pro.
I installed it using brew install swiftlint
In homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint the folder is 0.49.1 which I guess is the version installed on my machine.
I googled and tried a few methods. But non of them worked for me.
First:
brew install <url of older github raw file> is not working
Second:
brew install swiftlint#0.47.0 was also not working
Third:
I downloaded portable_zip of 0.47.0 form github, extracted and created a new folder homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint/0.47.0 and pasted the content there. After double clicking on the executable file swiftlint starts running.
Then ran brew switch swiftlint 0.47.0 but it was also not working
I also tried deleting the alias from homebrew/bin/swiftlint and pasted new alias from homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint/0.47.0 folder's executable there, but it was also not working.
Can anyone help me out what I am doing wrong, and what should be the correct steps.
I am new to macOS.
I have found a work around. Earlier I wasn't aware how files, applictions works in MacOS, where does the data for applications go.
I am writing down the steps for swiftlint, maybe similar steps might be used to downgrade any other tool on MacOS (on M1 pro macbook).
What worked for me was:
First of all I installed xcode's older version manually, xcode-select --print-path was different so I changed it with sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer.
Then I uninstalled the swiftlint using brew uninstall command.
Then from github I downloaded .pkg file of exact version I wanted, and installed it.
Also downloaded portable zip from same repository and extracted the contents and pasted them in homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint/
Made one alias of executable file of the previous step extracted files and pasted that in homebrew/bin
Then this exact version of swiftlint was installed for me, and now it works fine.
Hope this helps someone.

I am using a MacBook Pro (early-2011) with macOS Sierra v10.12.6. I can not install and run Anaconda3. I have downloaded the pkg file from the Anaconda webpage. First day, it took overnight to finish installing. After which it said installation failed. I tried to delete all files and reinstall all over again serval times, but this hasn't worked. I made sure the /opt folder was empty before I reinstall again, but even like that didn't work.
Any ideas how to make it work?
Had a similiar problem with a geriatric iMac mid 2010 running OSX 10.13.16. The GUI installer for Anaconda 3 takes an age, then reports there was a problem.
I downloaded the install script and ran, "bash Anaconda3-2022.05-MacOSX-x86_64.sh" in a terminal.
Answered questions, and after some time, have Anaconda installed in my personal space. Now to figure out how to use the latest LTS Julia.
No Anaconda support. Current Anaconda (and likely Miniconda) distribution declares a minimum system requirement of macOS v10.13+. One could try scraping back through the archive to find an older distribution that will install, but I wouldn't recommend that.
Conda Forge supports macOS 10.9+. Conda Forge still builds all osx-64 packages with a macOS 10.9 target. Hence, you should be fine using instead a Miniforge variant for the base Conda installation. I strongly recommend Mambaforge, and using mamba instead of conda.
I did these steps:
Updated to Mojave
Installed Xcode 10 beta3
Ran this command: sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/
Now I'm trying to install node8:
brew install node#8
And it gives me this error:
Error: The Command Line Tools header package must be installed on Mojave.
The installer is located at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
Still, doing
install -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
does nothing, since there's no such file in my system. Where could I get it?
Go to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg location and install package manually. And brew will start working.
I want to try and answer this question and also for those that come later that installed Mojave and had an older Xcode version installed. The process is the same minus that if you have Xcode 10, you don't need to install it again from my understanding.
The folder is hidden and was not accessible even with a sudo find command, however, I figured out that copying the absolute path and then pasting it in your browser address bar will give you the download and access to the folder that you need to fix brew install.
I posted a video here- https://youtu.be/GfnhSirTCGM that walks you thru part of my steps above. After you do the SDK headers download, its likely that unless you already are running Xcode 9.4, you will need to visit, https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and look for Xcode 9.4 to install. Also grab the 10.14 command line tools as well. The lesson that should be learned here is that Apple calls it "Beta" for a reason and if you are a developer that knows the pains of setup, it is a bad idea. I hope that I was helpful! The last thing is, INSTALL XCODE THEN COMMAND LINE TOOLS-IN THAT ORDER OR IT ERRORS OUT! and then we do this all over again. Cheers!
It appears as though Apple has released a patch for the bug and it is available through the system preferences. 14 July 2018
Broken command line tools:
Xcode Location on the Apple developers website:
Location of command line tools:
Do not install Xcode from the Mac App Store because a different version is required!
Command line tools 10.14 update:
As of October 2018, the solution for making brew and brew install succeed is to:
install latest Xcode fom AppStore
run Xcode and install command line tools
add the line before to your profile or somethign similar
export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include"
No need to download Xcode manually, but you may want to remove the beta version if you installed it.
The magic part is at the end, where xcrun obtains the correct location of the SDK.
In terminal, you should first input the commands below
cd /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages
open .
you will open the directory on desktop,
then double click the pkg file to install it.
I'm starting on a new team who are all on PCs using TortoiseSVN with SVN version 1.9.2. I'm on a Mac OSX (El Capitan) using the Versionsapp. When I check svn --version in terminal i get 1.7.10.
When I try any svn command such as svn update I get
svn: E155021: This client is too old to work with the working copy at
'/Users/dpowell/Desktop/sites/site.org.new' (format 31).
You need to get a newer Subversion client. For more details, see
http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
I've gone to the site and downloaded the python script but don't know it will do anything to help (i.e. I don't know how to use it). I've also downloaded the 1.9 package and tried installing svn that way.
I'm not sure what path to take to solve this issue
The Python script you downloaded from there was to downgrade your SVN version - you need to upgrade your SVN version. I recommend going the homebrew route - it will save you lots of pain in upgrading / installing OSX packages in the future.
Follow the instructions here: http://brew.sh/
(copy that line into a terminal an press ENTER, then follow the prompts)
Then, when homebrew is installed, so update SVN, just do brew install svn.
In Terminal, type "svn --version" to find out what version you currently have
Go to http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download#osx and download the latest client for OS X and install it. This will install the new svn into /opt/subversion/bin
Got to your terminal and check your $PATH by typing "echo $PATH". If you don't see /opt/subversion/bin in there, make sure you add it by typing export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH. If it DOES exist and appears AFTER /usr/bin, then you may need to remove an older copy of svn that came installed on OS X. To do so, go to /usr/bin and remove all files starting with svn. This isn't an exact science but it should do the trick.
For me export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH worked as it was installed in /opt/subversion/bin
Make sure you reload your .profile first by typing
. ./.profile*
Type "svn --version". You should see that you have the newest version installed!
brew upgrade subversion
Others solutions require you to register an Account?? forget them.
I'm trying to install vNext on my Macbook but when I run source kvm.sh the terminal just hangs.
My setup:
OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
Mono 3.10.0
My problem:
I followed the instructions for installing vNext on OS X from the GitHub repo:
https://github.com/aspnet/Home
Essentially:
brew tap aspnet/k
brew install kvm
source kvm.sh
Everything seems to go fine until the step where I run source kvm.sh, which hangs the terminal with a message "[Process completed]".
Adding source kvm.sh to ~/.zshrc file starts the terminal and immediately hangs it once that runs.
What I've tried:
I uninstalled kvm (brew uninstall kvm) and aspnet/k (brew untap aspnet/k) and deleted the directory ~/.kre, then tried reinstalling it all again.
No luck.
Any ideas? Here's a screenshot:
The kvm currently not working in ZSH, Running it under /bin/bash should work quite well.
Also, make sure you remove anything to do with kvm from your .zshrc file and you should be good to go again.
according to https://github.com/aspnet/kvm/issues/83 , you can replace the kvm.sh file with the version from dev branch, which can be found under https://github.com/aspnet/kvm/blob/dev/src/kvm.sh , and zsh should be happy with it afterwards.
Worked for me.
I installed homebrew, and it keeps complaining that:
Warning: Your Xcode (4.2) is outdated
Please install Xcode 4.6.2.
As I learned there is no way to update Xcode so I just downloaded / installed the latest version.
The warning did not go away, and as I learned, I now have 2 versions installed:
and the warning did not go away
How do I now eliminate the old version? I just wanted to update it really.
The /Developer location is now obsolete. Xcode now runs entirely from the application bundle in /Applications/Xcode.app.
To remove it properly, run this from Terminal:
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
Although, I've simply moved /Developer it to the Trash in the past and that seemed to work fine.
You'll need to go into Xcode.app's preferences afterwards and install Command Line Tools from Downloads->Components. I came across a tutorial for setting up homebrew for new Xcode installations.
