Brand new off the boat user having issues running Alfred issue: Power Thesaurus

[Bardiccollege]

Running on a MBP M1

So far Ive loaded two workflows and both aren't working very well. Ive debugged the following while running power thesaurus. Basically I type the command [pows] and it looks active in the Alfred search - but it produces no results and searches with a fallback

here's the debug:
 

[07:33:41.736] Power Thesaurus[Script Filter] Queuing argument 'usef'

[07:33:41.753] Power Thesaurus[Script Filter] Script with argv 'usef' finished

Have you installed the Apple Command Line tools?

No I haven't; is it necessary to install this?

From reading the link it looks like I should choose wisely. Any advice?

[Stephen_C]

You need the command line tools to run the workflow in respect of which you posted the debug information. Speaking personally I'd run from the Terminal xcode-select --install.

 

Note the space before --install.

@Bardiccollege Based on your error, you already had the Command Line Tools installed but they broke (likely due to a macOS update, that sometimes happens). @Stephen_C’s command on the last post will get you sorted.

That fixed it... I guess I didn't read enough when I purchased the Power Pack, I had no idea my computer needed Xcode for that.

It doesn’t. Xcode is a multi-GB installation; the Command Line Tools are a considerably smaller subset of tools provided by Apple which give you access to (e.g.) Python3, which that workflow uses. That’s not needed to use the Power Pack, it’s just that that developer chose to use a language which requires it. Alfred will make it easy to install other dependencies if necessary.
