I am at page 28 of chapter 1 and am running into this error. How to proceed? ![vapor](https://files.chunter.kodeco.com/original/3X/a/e/ae9f203ad664fe8045203ca84a2299dd431bb1f0.png) ---

Found it myself. You must run vapor xcode -y Sighs ---

Apologies for the delay - this usually means that the command line tools have overwritten what you need. Running `xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app` should fix it (You’ll get a better error message running `swift build` as well) ---

I have run into the same error as listed at the top: Davids-MacBook-Air:HelloVapor davidreyes$ vapor run Error: No builds found for debug configuration. I have tried both command line suggestions: Davids-MacBook-Air:HelloVapor davidreyes$ vapor xcode -y Generating Xcode Project [Done] Select the `Run` scheme to run. Open Xcode project? y/n\> yes Opening Xcode project… Error: backgroundExecute(code: 1, error: “The file /Users/davidreyes/vapor/HelloVapor/\*.xcodeproj does not exist.\n”, output: “”) And again: Davids-MacBook-Air:HelloVapor davidreyes$ xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app xcode-select: error: --switch must be run as root (e.g. `sudo xcode-select --switch `). Can someone explain what these errors are trying to tell me, and what I should do to proceed? ---

@dreyes so the first error `No builds found for debug configuration` means that there are no binaries to run - you haven’t built the binary before attempting to run it. You need to do `vapor build` before `vapor run` (although `swift run` will do both). However, you’ll need to fix the second error first. `-switch must be run as root` means you need super user permissions to execute the command. So if you follow the suggestion and prepend your command with `sudo` (Super User DO) then it should work. Hope that helps! ---

Thank you so much for your help, @0xtim! Your suggestions fixed the problem. Here are the steps that allowed the command to execute: > sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app > vapor build > vapor run ---

Though I am now able to see output in a browser window, I am unable to return to my command line prompt. After running the above commands, Vapor responded with the following lines: Davids-MacBook-Air:HelloVapor davidreyes$ vapor run Running HelloVapor … [INFO] Migrating ‘sqlite’ database (/Users/davidreyes/vapor/HelloVapor/.build/checkouts/fluent/Sources/Fluent/Migration/MigrationConfig.swift:69) [INFO] Preparing migration ‘Todo’ (/Users/davidreyes/vapor/HelloVapor/.build/checkouts/fluent/Sources/Fluent/Migration/Migrations.swift:111) [INFO] Migrations complete (/Users/davidreyes/vapor/HelloVapor/.build/checkouts/fluent/Sources/Fluent/Migration/MigrationConfig.swift:73) Running default command: .build/debug/Run serve Server starting on [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) [ERROR] Abort.404: Not Found (ApplicationResponder.swift:50) Why am I unable to return to the command line prompt? What should I do to cancel Vapor and allow me to return to a command line prompt? ---

Yup, that worked. Thanks @0xtim for your patient assistance.
