Unable to clone - requires sudo command

Erin Lowell

I'm working my way through Bit Bucket 101, which up until now has been very good.

I'm at the step where I need to clone the empty repository. I followed the terminal commands and made a repos folder in the home directory, but when I copy and paste the text from bitbucket in the clone command, I see this:

Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.

I have absolutely no idea what to do. Can anyone help?

Run the following:

sudo !!

You should be asked for a password, and then processing will happen, and then all will be well.

Never mind, I followed that...and it all worked out. Strange though.

The more complete explanation is that you need git to complete those exercises, and git is part of XCode. The XCode package for Mac requires admin or "root" privileges to run. The command to run a command as root is "superuser do", which is "sudo" for short. Adding double exclamation points makes it repeat the last command issued. So basically, we just said "do as superuser the last command". This caused XCode to (among other things) present its end user license agreement for your approval. Only after you read through the whole thing was it ready to go.

In short, there was nothing strange about this process, and you should expect this commonly when installing command-line tools.
