Download the Installer

You can get the toolchain installer here!

4. Follow the install wizard prompts

For detailed information on what the toolchain includes, see our Understanding the Toolchain Page.

Troubleshooting

"Installer" cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer

If you encounter this popup and don't see an "Open" button, you probably double-clicked or opened the package directly. You'll have to right-click the package in Finder and select "Open" from the context menu.

xcrun errors

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

If you get this error, you should be able to resolve it by running: xcode-select --install within your terminal.

This does not install Xcode, nor is Xcode necessary for any Daisy tools.

miscellaneous errors

If you see other unrelated errors or have used another method to install the toolchain, you can verify the proper version of the toolchain by running:

arm-none-eabi-gcc --version

For other issues, see our dedicated Troubleshooting Page.

The suggested version can be manually downloaded and installed from here. It is v10.3-2021.10.
