Every time I try npm install
. I get the following error. How do I fix it?
gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected!
I am on node -v → v8.8.0
& npm -v → v6.11.3
I tried to run it on VSCode terminal and iTerm, but both ended up getting the same error. (both are updated to the latest version). The only new thing I did is updating my macOS to the latest version (Catalina 10.15.3 today).

Even though you have them installed (my case), but by upgrading to Catalina (10.15.*) you can get this error (my case :) ).
Therefore, simply installing wouldn't help as you will get an error that they are already installed.
Therefore you need to hopefully just (I) reset the tool or in worse case (II) uninstall and install (requires large redownload) it again (this is based on the @Dane_duPlessis's answer).
# just for а preview (not necessary)
xcode-select --print-path
# in my case it printed `/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools`
# could be useful if the path is making a problem
sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
# only for the (I) resetting case
sudo xcode-select --reset
# only for the (II) uninstalling case - the next line deletes folder returned by the `xcode-select --print-path` command
sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select --print-path)
# only for the (II) uninstalling case - install tools (again) if you don't get a default installation prompt
xcode-select --install

This worked for me with macOS Catalina Version 10.15.5:
$ xcode-select --print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
$ sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
...
$ sudo xcode-select --reset
...
The xcode cli tools should now be accessible. No need to re-install anything.
I guess, you may have tried multiple solutions so far but if none of those solutions have worked for you yet, don't worry - I got you. :)
Non-working Solutions:
xcode-select --install
didn't work for me (macOS Catalina 10.15.7) as it shows up a Software Update dialog box which says Can't install the software because it is currently not available from the Software Update Server
.sudo xcode-select --reset
also didn't do the trick for me.Working Solution:
Here is what worked for me i.e. reinstall Xcode Command Line Tools using Software Update manually.
softwareupdate -l
sudo touch /tmp/.com.apple.dt.CommandLineTools.installondemand.in-progress
softwareupdate -l
again.Software Update
. Start the Software Update
.sudo rm /tmp/.com.apple.dt.CommandLineTools.installondemand.in-progress
.
