Install Xcode Mac Without App Store

Troubleshooting¶

Currently and officially, Xcode is only available through Mac App Store or iTunes, but still Mac users can download xcode without app store and without Apple ID for free. Although, xCode software is only compatible with macOS, but still Windows users can download, install and run PC version of xcode through virtual machine software like VMware. William Kyngesburye provides a number of geospatial library binary packages that help to get GeoDjango installed on macOS without compiling them from source. However, Xcode is still necessary for compiling the Python database adapters psycopg2 (for PostGIS).

If you can’t find the solution to your problem here then participate in thecommunity! You can:

Join the #geodjango IRC channel on Freenode. Please be patient and polite– while you may not get an immediate response, someone will attempt to answeryour question as soon as they see it.
Ask your question on the GeoDjango mailing list.
File a ticket on the Django trac if you think there’s a bug. Makesure to provide a complete description of the problem, versions used,and specify the component as “GIS”.

Library environment settings¶

By far, the most common problem when installing GeoDjango is that theexternal shared libraries (e.g., for GEOS and GDAL) cannot be located. [1]Typically, the cause of this problem is that the operating system isn’t awareof the directory where the libraries built from source were installed.

In general, the library path may be set on a per-user basis by settingan environment variable, or by configuring the library path for the entiresystem.

`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable¶

A user may set this environment variable to customize the library pathsthey want to use. The typical library directory for softwarebuilt from source is /usr/local/lib. Thus, /usr/local/lib needsto be included in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. For example, the usercould place the following in their bash profile:

Setting system library path¶

On GNU/Linux systems, there is typically a file in /etc/ld.so.conf, which may includeadditional paths from files in another directory, such as /etc/ld.so.conf.d.As the root user, add the custom library path (like /usr/local/lib) on anew line in ld.so.conf. This is one example of how to do so:

For OpenSolaris users, the system library path may be modified using thecrle utility. Run crle with no options to see the current configurationand use crle-l to set with the new library path. Be very careful whenmodifying the system library path:

Install `binutils`¶

Can't Install Xcode On Mac

GeoDjango uses the find_library function (from the ctypes.util Pythonmodule) to discover libraries. The find_library routine uses a programcalled objdump (part of the binutils package) to verify a sharedlibrary on GNU/Linux systems. Thus, if binutils is not installed on yourLinux system then Python’s ctypes may not be able to find your library even ifyour library path is set correctly and geospatial libraries were built perfectly.
