In this post, we will fix it.
Step 1
In the beginning, let’s make sure that we have updated our Mac OS system:
If you see a notification about updates, please install update Mac OS and restart the system if it is required:
In my case that was the solution to this issue. If it doesn’t help you, proceed to the following steps.
Step 2
You need to get the location of XCode CLI and then remove it.
You can get it by the following command.
xcode-select --print-path
If you want to get the location and remove it by a single command, you can use this command:
sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select --print-path)
Step 3
Now we can re-install command line developer tools. We may need xcode-select --install command for this:
Also, you will be prompted by the installation window. Press Install.
Conclusion
After successfully installation an error gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected! will go away.
