I'm trying to run script to clear cache:
sudo /usr/libexec/xpccachectl
But system cannot find it with following error:
sudo: /usr/libexec/xpccachectl: command not found
System: macOS 10.13.2.
Maybe anybody solved this issue?
The commandline way to install required components is:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode -installComponents

Background:
Dear Stackoverflow community. I recently switched from Windows to MacOS and am at a loss how to configure environment variables. Many of the previous questions asked here are about bash instead of zsh.
Goal:
I am trying to install an npm package globally. For instance:
npm install -g vercel
or any other package, and use it in my Visual Studio Code terminal (also zsh). If I want to deploy code I have to use 'npx vercel deploy' every time. I want to be able to use "vercel deploy" but instead I get:
zsh: command not found: vercel
What I tried so far:
Installing the package in zsh and visual studio code terminals (didn't work)
Setting the path equal on both VS and terminal: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
I learned that you need to add environment variabels to a .zshrc file. I don't seem to have a zshrc file. When I do:
sudo ~/.zshrc
Password: XXXXXX
sudo: /Users/vincent/.zshrc: command not found
I am getting another error.
I read in the zsh man file that you should use $HOME/.zshrc instead. Again I am getting the same errors:
vincent#Vincents-MacBook-Air-2 ~ % $HOME/.zshrc
zsh: permission denied: /Users/vincent/.zshrc
vincent#Vincents-MacBook-Air-2 ~ % sudo $HOME/.zshrc
sudo: /Users/vincent/.zshrc: command not found
Update 1:
#slebetman Thank you for your explanation. When I open the terminal I go to home via "cd $HOME" which puts me in in the home directory. However there is no way for me to create a .zshrc file in that directory. Neither via touch or vs code. I am getting the following error: "Unable to write file '/home/.zshrc' (Unknown (FileSystemError): Error: ENOTSUP: operation not supported on socket, open '/home/.zshrc')"
Update 2:
I did manage to find the .zshrc file in visual studio code under /etc. I hope this will work. I was able to overwrite the file with Sudo and add environment variables to it.
Add this to the file .zshrc file under /etc and force overwrite it:
export vercel=/Users/vincent/.npm-global/bin/vercel
Screenshots below for those who will try in the future:

Final remarks:
I don't understand how it is so difficult to add environment variables on Mac while everything else is so easy.
I have read many different questions on stackoverflow, and I can't seem to solve it. Also since I am a newbie I am not allowed to comment on there so I post here in the hope that anyone can help me :)
Best,
Vincent
Note that when you do:
npx vercel deploy
Npm will execute vercel for you without installing it. It does that by temporarily downloading vercel. If you want to run vercel directly without using npx then simply don't use npx. Install it instead:
npm install -g vercel
The -g flag installs the module globally and if the module has a CLI it will be available globally as well (note that depending on your setup you may need admin/sudo privileges to use the -g flag). Now you can run vercel by simply typing:
vercel deploy
This works in all operating systems supported by node.js and npm. That means you can even do this in Windows. In fact I use npm to distribute my tools in a simple cross-platform way so I don't have to support multiple package managers like chocolatey (Windows), homebrew (Mac OS), deb (Debian based distros), rpm (Redhat based distros) etc. (npm does not require your software to be written in node.js - I have published packages on npm written in tcl and bash).
I made the mistake of updating npm today and now whenever I try to use any commands that start with npm the terminal returns with "npm: command not found." I am running node -v 13.13.0, I have tried to install npm again however, any time I use npm the terminal returns "npm: command not found." I am using bash in the terminal. Does anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks!
Resolved: I had to reinstall node.js, didn't think to try that first, my bad.
I want to install node v6.10.3. but when I tried to install it gives the following error. What causes this error?
creating .\config.gypi
creating .\config.mk
bash: make: command not found
nvm: install v6.10.3 failed!
(nvm maintainer here) Could you file this on http://nvm.sh, and fill out the issue template? This kind of question is more appropriate for the repo than for SO.
I have installed 'apidoc' after installing 'npm' and 'node' for my API documentation by the help of following command:
npm install apidoc -g
After installing apidoc globally, I simply ran below command on my project directory (assuming apidoc will consider its default template file):
apidoc
In result no errors and no documentation generated.
Similarly, I have tried:
apidoc -i ~/PROJECTS/jruby/project/webservice/ -o ~/PROJECTS/apidocs/apidoc/ -t ~/PROJECTS/apidocs/mytemplate/
But nothing happens, in that case I had nothing on 'mytemplate' directory.
Can you guys please tell me what I've missed to install/consider? and why nothing is appearing on command execution?
Note: I'm using this for my ruby application, but unable to install its gem as we're running our application on ruby 1.9 and it requires ruby 2.0. I need an independent solution that should works for other projects as well.
Thank you.
I got the solution; copied 'package.json' file from https://github.com/apidoc/apidoc and ran below command for npm
npm install
after getting success install nodejs properly by following steps:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs
then went to the project directory and ran the following command:
apidoc
after success of above command got html document in doc/ directory inside project. Cheers !
Like a lot of people I am also having issues with Yeoman.
Error -bash: yo: command not found in OSx.
I tried adding export PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH on my .bash_profile as suggested by some folks and still same error.
I've lost 2 hours of my productivity trying to fix Yeoman bugs and still nothing.
Does anyone know any good solution that fixes the -bash: yo: command not found ?
I found that for recent versions of npm, all node packages are installed in the ~/npm/bin/ directory.
So add those lines to your $PATH in the .profile file :
export PATH=$PATH:~/npm/bin
Then do :
source ~/.profile
yo -v
Finally found a solution for this.
First I had to uninstall and install yo again:
npm remove -g yo
npm install -g yo
I also added a symlink to the bash_profile to make yo work. The following line: PATH=${PATH}:~/.node/bin After that restart the prompt for the change to take action.
Please check this for more references: Why are my Yeoman generators installing in the wrong place?
try to add an symbolic-link (ln -s) into the /sbin -directory.
like:
ln -s /sbin/ /usr/local/share/npm/bin/yo
This also seems to work :)
sudo `yo angular2-ts [appname]`
where [appname] is the name of your app (without the []) :)
just give access for the user to read write execute in the folder webapp
sudo chmod 777 webapp
cd webapp
yo angular [appname]
