The CLT stands for “Command Line Tools for Xcode”. This package enables UNIX-style development via Terminal by installing command line developer tools, as well as macOS SDK frameworks and headers. Many useful tools are included, such as the Apple LLVM compiler, linker, and Make.
We'll use Finder to find out if XCode is installed. In Finder, select the Go pull-down menu, and select Applications. Or just use the short-cut key Command-Shift-A while Finder is active. This should open a new Finder window, showing all the Applications installed on your machine.
I got this working by following the steps below:
Find out the path for the command line tools
xcode-select --print-path
Delete command line tools directory ( Directory path can be retrieved from the above step )
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Run this to re-install
xcode-select --install
Post this, 'npm install' should run successfully on VS Code in MacOS bash terminal.
