Terminal info from that run is attached, but basically it didn’t work since when I ran the gnc-fq-check again, I got the same message as above.

The Terminal information does not really make sense to me but there were several statements like “missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun “  and “the following files are missing in your kit: .travis.yml “ as well as others

Most of the modules failed to install and it looks like it was because there was no `make` either on the path or in the command-line tools directory. You could install command-line tools by running 
  xcode-select --install
but that should be superfluous if you've installed the full Xcode. Having installed it have you run it so that it can install it's "additional components"? On my mac xcrun and make are in /usr/bin.
