"Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo." when using GCC
IosXcodeGccIos Problem Overview
While attempting to compile my C program, running the following command:
gcc pthread.c -o pthread
Returns:
> Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.
and my code does not compile.
Why is this happening and how can I fix this problem?
Ios Solutions
Solution 1 - Ios
Open up Xcode, and accept the new user agreement. This was happening because a new version of Xcode was downloaded and the new agreement was not accepted.
Solution 2 - Ios
sudo xcodebuild -license
will take care of it with no trouble on the command line. Note that you'll have to manually scroll through the license, and agree to its terms at the end, unless you add "accept" to the command line :
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
Solution 3 - Ios
Got stuck as I was trying to a go get ... I think it was related to git. Here is how was able to fix it ...
-
I entered the following in terminal:
sudo xcodebuild -license
-
This will open the agreement. Go all the way to end and type "agree".
That takes care of go get issues.
It was quite interesting how unrelated things were.
Solution 4 - Ios
Opening XCode and accepting the license fixes the issue.
Solution 5 - Ios
You don't need to fiddle around with any command :)
Once the XCode is updated, open the Xcode IDE program. Please accept terms and conditions.
You are all set to go :))
Solution 6 - Ios
Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo
.
A new version of OSX or XCode was installed and Apple wants you to agree to their Terms and Conditions. So just launch Xcode and "Agree" to them.
Solution 7 - Ios
Follow these steps:
- Open Terminal.
- Enter this command:
sudo xcodebuild --license
. - Enter system password.
- Agree to the license.
Solution 8 - Ios
I had the same issue, after accepting the license launching XCode or running sudo xcodebuild -license accept
i had to restart my Mac – otherwise it did not worked.
Solution 9 - Ios
I had the same issue when I tried to use git.
It is possible to install git without it. And I doubt that gcc on mac is truly dependent on XCode. And I don't want to use root to accept something unless I'm sure I need it.
I uninstalled XCode by navigating to the applications folder and dragging XCode to the trash.
Now my git commands work as usual. I'll re-install XCode if/when I truly need it.
Solution 10 - Ios
I'm facing the same issue.
The issue because of X-Code.
> Solution: > 1. Open X-code and accept user agreement (T&C). or > 2. Restart your MAC, It will resolve automatically.
Solution 11 - Ios
If you have similar issues in Intellij do as others said above me :
- Open Terminal.
- Enter this command: sudo xcodebuild --license.
- Enter system password.
- Go to the end of file: Press space(button) to do that.
- Type 'Agree' to the license.
And you are done.!!
