not able to install the Command Line Tools (BBEdit version 12.6.6 (412112, 64-bit, sandboxed), macOS Mojave 10.14.6)

[Vlad Ghitulescu]

Hello!

I have installed from scratch Mojave and shortly after BBEdit.

I was remembered that I didn’t installed the Command Line Tools:

I tried from within BBEdit but…

So I opened the Terminal and navigate to /usr/local but there’s no directory „share“ already there and I also don’t have the permission to create it (I am logged in as a normal user):

I can’t do this not even as admin:

What do I do wrong?

Thanks!

Regards,
Vlad

/usr/local/ is owned by root:wheel, so you will have to sudo the
directory creation:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1

Hi Vlad!

I am not sure, but has your /usr/local the right permissions? It’s only a guess! To illustrate:

ls -l
drwxr-xr-x@ 9 root wheel 288B Oct 24 2018 usr/
drwxr-xr-x 19 root wheel 608B Jul 21 17:53 local/

And in /usr/local/ I get:

drwxrwxr-x 6 mstep admin 192 Aug 10 19:14 Caskroom/
drwxrwxr-x 105 mstep admin 3360 Aug 2 12:39 Cellar/
drwxrwxr-x 3 mstep admin 96 Jul 12 07:18 Frameworks/
drwxrwxr-x 20 mstep admin 640 Jul 12 07:18 Homebrew/
drwxrwxr-x 430 mstep admin 13760 Aug 11 11:12 bin/
drwxrwxr-x 14 mstep admin 448 Aug 5 15:35 etc/
drwxrwxr-x 176 mstep admin 5632 Aug 8 10:34 include/
drwxrwxr-x 378 mstep admin 12096 Aug 10 19:10 lib/
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 30 Mar 23 10:58 mysql@ -> mysql-8.0.15-macos10.14-x86_64
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 128 Mar 23 10:58 mysql-8.0.13-macos10.14-x86_64/
drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 544 Mar 23 10:59 mysql-8.0.15-macos10.14-x86_64/
drwxrwxr-x 121 mstep admin 3872 Aug 10 19:10 opt/
drwxrwxr-x 15 mstep admin 480 Aug 8 10:34 sbin/
drwxrwxr-x 39 mstep admin 1248 Aug 8 10:34 share/
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 128 May 11 09:37 texlive/
drwxrwxr-x 6 mstep admin 192 May 19 16:14 var/

Has your local folder perhaps an “@“ or “+” restriction (ACR)? I don’t remember exactly how to remove it, but if you look into

man chflags

you will find a solution.

Hey Vlad,

Rich's answer is the simplest solution, but you can also get there quite easily in the Finder.

– Open a window.

– Type Cmd-Shift-G.

- Type /usr/local in the resulting sheet.

- Type Return or hit the [ Go ] button.

From there you can create a new folder, and the Finder will make you authenticate during the process.

Take Care,

Chris

Thanks, Rich!
