Fix "No Xcode or CLT version detected" When Running npm install

When trying to run npm install after setting up a new laravel project, I got these error message:

sebastian@Sebastians-iMac my-project % npm install

> fsevents@1.2.11 install /Users/sebastian/Development/valet/my-project/node_modules/fsevents
> node-gyp rebuild

Solution was, to remove the XCode Command Line Tools by running this command:

sudo rm -r -f /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Here you can find the official documentation.

After removing the Command Line Tools, I had to setup them again by running:

xcode-select --install

Next try to run npm install was a success.
