How to Fix the "Your CLT does not support macOS 11" error in macOS
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
I recently got this error while using Homebrew to install a package on macOS, in my case rbenv
:
➜ brew install rbenv
...
Error: Your CLT does not support macOS 11.
It is either outdated or was modified.
Please update your CLT or delete it if no updates are available.
Update them from Software Update in System Preferences or run:
softwareupdate --all --install --force
If that doesn't show you an update run:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select --install
Alternatively, manually download them from:
~https://developer.apple.com/download/more/~.
Error: An exception occurred within a child process:
SystemExit: exit
Weird!
Running softwareupdate --all --install --force
as suggested in the message didn’t help, so I ran sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/
and then sudo xcode-select --install
:
That’s it.
After doing this, brew install rbenv
worked fine.
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
