ios-deploy fail to install on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11

I am trying to install ios-deploy on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11 by running sudo npm install -g ios-deploy and it end up with this error message:

sh: line 1:  1106 Abort trap: 6           xcodebuild
npm ERR! Darwin 15.0.0
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "-g" "ios-deploy"

npm ERR! Exit status 134
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] preinstall script './src/check_reqs.js && xcodebuild'.
npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the ios-deploy package,
npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR!     ./src/check_reqs.js && xcodebuild
npm ERR! You can get their info via:
npm ERR!     npm owner ls ios-deploy
npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

Why is it fail? How can I solve it?

See Newer StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/a/59581099/329984

The Homebrew and npm versions will be updated at the same time going forward.

To use ios-deploy as a command-line tool it is recommended you now install it directly via Homebrew(and if you have already installed it via npm to uninstall it).

npm with allow root or unsafe params didn't worked for me. try brew. Command would be

brew install ios-deploy

if you don't have brew install then its couple of seconds. install here https://brew.sh/

brew was the only thing worked on my mac-mini High Sierra

Here is a new Solution, which is working right now.....

You need Download Xcode from APP Store, in X-code go in Preferences > Location > Command Line Tools, then select one of the listed options. After that you can install:

sudo npm install -g ios-sim sudo npm install --global --unsafe-perm ios-deploy

iOS-deploy allow us install and debug iPhone apps from the command line, without using Xcode. The first line works for me.

npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true

This seems to be an issue since El Capitan. Either try:

npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true

or:

npm install -g ios-deploy --allow-root

This solution is proposed at the relating github from ios-deploy.
