pipx install eth-brownie error : Fatal error from pip prevented installation

was trying this cmd:pipx install eth-brownie, but encountered this error

enter image description here

I have tried, but not working:

  1. reinstall pipx
  2. using pip install eth-brownie
  3. pip install bitarray, cytoolz and lru-dict seperately

Error in Text: Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file: /Users/pilotbryan/.local/pipx/logs/cmd_2022-05-22_15.26.44_pip_errors.log

pip failed to build packages: bitarray cytoolz lru-dict

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install: error: subprocess-exited-with-error xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1 error: legacy-install-failure

This happens when the Python version is upgraded to a major version on a machine on which pipx was installed and used before.

The solution is to remove the ~/.local/pipx/shared folder

rm -rfv ~/.local/pipx/shared

Or just backup

mv ~/.local/pipx/shared ~/.local/pipx/shared.bak

Then you can pipx install eth-brownie

The problem is probably with the Command Line Tools package- that's why pip install was failing. You can try to download the tool using: xcode-select --install in terminal. If it does not work for you, try resetting the xcode install. I found useful tutorial in here: https://gist.github.com/Justintime50/2349ff5e62555aa097acbf519bbc27af
