ios-deploy fail to install on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11

Question

I am trying to install ios-deploy on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11 by running sudo npm install -g ios-deploy and it end up with this error message:

sh:          


        

Answer 1

This seems to be an issue since El Capitan. Either try:

npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true

or:

npm install -g ios-deploy --allow-root

This solution is proposed at the relating github from ios-deploy.

Here is a new Solution, which is working right now.....

You need Download Xcode from APP Store, in X-code go in Preferences > Location > Command Line Tools, then select one of the listed options. After that you can install:

sudo npm install -g ios-sim sudo npm install --global --unsafe-perm ios-deploy

Answer 3

I tried with different ways.

This line worked for me.

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm ios-deploy

Answer 4

See Newer StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/a/59581099/329984

The Homebrew and npm versions will be updated at the same time going forward.

To use ios-deploy as a command-line tool it is recommended you now install it directly via Homebrew(and if you have already installed it via npm to uninstall it).

Answer 5

npm with allow root or unsafe params didn't worked for me. try brew. Command would be

brew install ios-deploy

if you don't have brew install then its couple of seconds. install here https://brew.sh/

brew was the only thing worked on my mac-mini High Sierra

Answer 6

iOS-deploy allow us install and debug iPhone apps from the command line, without using Xcode. The first line works for me.

npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true
