Terminal during installation indicates such a problem:
MacBook-Pro:~ synkevych$ brew install httpie
Error: The following formula
[#<Dependency: "python" []>, #<Options: []>]
cannot be installed as binary package and must be built from source.
Install the Command Line Tools:
xcode-select --install
How can I install it?
According to the error message, you will need to install Xcode Command Line Tools (so that Python 3 from Homebrew, which HTTPie depends on, can be installed):
Install the Command Line Tools:
xcode-select --install
I'm attempting to install a package on Mac OSX Serra v10.12.6 running xCode v9.1 using HomeBrew v1.3.8.
The install and error is
TS-Mac-Pro > brew install dos2unix
Error: Xcode alone is not sufficient on Sierra.
Install the Command Line Tools:
xcode-select --install
Then I run the command
xcode-select --install
which says the command line tool package is not available from the software update server.
Which I go into xCode it shows that the command line tools are installed.
TS-Mac-Pro > xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Any help would be much appreciated.

I went to Apple Developer website and downloaded the Command Line Tools dmg directly. An Apple account first needs to be setup.
The Command Line Tools can be found under -
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
Install downloaded dmg and volia - HomeBrew is back up and running.
I just fixed this issue by deleting the current install of the command line tools and reinstalling them. See commands below:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select --install
This fixed the issue for me in the end
I try to install an old version of cmake. I install .dmg file from here.
But I couldn't use on terminal via cmake xxx. I know that I install for command line using brew install cmake. But it installs the latest version. How can I install a specific version?
I am having trouble installing scrapy with easy_install, I get:
unable to execute gcc-4.0: No such file or directory
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc-4.0' failed with exit status 1
I have gcc-4.2. I've been trying to downgrade to gcc-4.0 but cannot figure out a way ...
You need to setup your environment:
First, install Command Line Tools for Xcode (I'm not 100% sure that you can install without XCode, if not then install XCode from App Store).
Then install MacPorts
To complete macports setup run this command in Terminal.app:
% sudo port selfupdate
If you done, then you can install scapry from macports:
% sudo port install py27-scrapy
Afther this you should be able to use scrapy command in Terminal.app.
I tried to install Apache Ant on my Mac and I followed the next steps :
I downloaded apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz into my Downloads folder.
I moved the file to /usr/local/ using this commands : sudo sh and mv apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz /usr/local/
Now I want to use cd /usr/local/ but it's not working, I get back "No such file or directory".
Then I used cd /usr/ and ls commands and it seems that the local folder is there. If I try to access it I get the same error.
Since I already used sudo su why I can't access it? Any ideas?
Ant is already installed on some older versions of Mac OS X, so you should run ant -version to test if it is installed before attempting to install it.
If it is not already installed, then your best bet is to install Homebrew (brew install ant) or MacPorts (sudo port install apache-ant), and use those tools to install Apache Ant.
Alternatively, though I would highly advise using Homebrew or MacPorts instead, you can install Apache Ant manually. To do so, you would need to:
Decompress the .tar.gz file.
Optionally put it somewhere.
Put the "bin" subdirectory in your path.
The commands that you would need, assuming apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz (replace 1.8.1 with the actual version) were still in your Downloads directory, would be the following (explanatory comments included):
cd ~/Downloads # Let's get into your downloads folder.
tar -xvzf apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz # Extract the folder
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local # Ensure that /usr/local exists
sudo cp -rf apache-ant-1.8.1-bin /usr/local/apache-ant # Copy it into /usr/local
# Add the new version of Ant to current terminal session
export PATH=/usr/local/apache-ant/bin:"$PATH"
# Add the new version of Ant to future terminal sessions
echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/apache-ant/bin:"$PATH"' >> ~/.profile
# Verify new version of ant
ant -version
For MacOS Maveriks (10.9 and perhaps later versions too), Apache Ant does not come bundled with the operating system and so must be installed manually. You can use brew to easily install ant. Simply execute the following command in a terminal window to install brew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
It's a medium sized download which took me 10min to download and install. Just follow the process which involves installing various components. If you already have brew installed, make sure it's up to date by executing:
brew update
Once installed you can simply type:
brew install ant
Ant is now installed and available through the "ant" command in the terminal.
To test the installation, just type "ant -version" into a terminal window. You should get the following output:
Apache Ant(TM) version X.X.X compiled on MONTH DAY YEAR
Source: Error executing command 'ant' on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks when building for Android with PhoneGap/Cordova
If you are getting errors installing Brew, try uninstalling first using the command:
rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
Thanks to OrangeDog and other users for providing additional information.
If you have MacPorts installed (https://www.macports.org/), do this:
sudo port install apache-ant
If you're a homebrew user instead of macports, homebrew has an ant recipe.
brew install ant
To get Ant running on your Mac in 5 minutes, follow these steps.
Open up your terminal.
Perform these commands in order:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install ant
If you don't have Java installed yet, you will get the following error: "Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build."
Run this command next: brew cask install java to fix this.
The installation will resume.
Check your version of by running this command:
ant -version
And you're ready to go!
Use Brew is always good way to install ANT and other needs.
To install type below command on terminal.
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
after Brew installation , type
brew install ant
This will install Ant on your system. Also you will not need to worry about setting up the path.
Also i have documented on the same - How to Install ANT on Mac OS?
The only way i could get my ant version updated on the mac from 1.8.2 to 1.9.1 was by following instructions here
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ant/User_Guide
MacPorts will install ant for you in MacOSX 10.9. Just use
$ sudo port install apache-ant
and it will install.
