Xcode requirement ?

Do we really need to install the full Xcode bundle? It's really heavy in terms of GB for my laptop.

hi,

you only need to install XCode if you want to build the application from source.
If are willing to install pre-built binaries, you can use either brew or manually install from the release page

I've got this message using brew

autokbisw: A full installation of Xcode.app is required to compile
this software. Installing just the Command Line Tools is not sufficient.

Xcode can be installed from the App Store.

Indeed, that's probably because there is no 'bottled' binary for your version of Mac OS. Unfortunately my macbook pro started showing worrying signs before MBP 16 got out. I moved to a linux laptop and don't work on mac much anymore. I'll see if the MBP is willing to boot, update and package a new version but I won't commit to a timeframe.

If you need it quickly you can install xcode to build the tool and remove it afterwards. unfortunately I don't think it is possible to partially install xcode.

Ok merci Jean :)

I tried adding a mojave bottle to the brew formula (I have almost no idea what I'm doing,I hopefully haven't broken the formula). re-reading the corresponding merge requests jeantil/homebrew-autokbisw#1 it looks like adding new bottles should not be required as long as your Mac OS is high_sierra or newer.

Can you tell me which version of Mac OS you are running ?

I was running High Sierra and now Catalina, same issue. I'm installing Xcode right now.
