rvictl
should be installed by Xcode. One thing to watch out for in 10.15 is that it’s now installed in a new location. In 10.14.x it was installed in
/usr/bin/rvictl
. In 10.15 it’s installed in
/Library/Apple/usr/bin/rvictl
. The default shell on 10.15 has
/Library/Apple/usr/bin/
in its path, but you seem to be customising your shell and thus you might not be picking this up from there.

  • Is there anything in common for all the things installed in /Library/Apple/ ? I seem to see things related to malware detection and removal, and things like that... Is there a better description for what's in there?

    The directory structure of MacOS becomes more and more frustrating, and there is no coherent source for learning about it.

I have installed xcode/MobileDeviceDevelopment.pkg/MobileDevice.pkg, The terminal : cmmand not found?

Could you tell me How to solve this issue?

I am from CHN. Thank you!

Connect your iOS device to your Mac via USB.

Set up an RVI for that device. This creates a virtual network interface on your Mac that represents the iOS device's networking stack.

Run your OS X packet trace program, and point it at the RVI created in the previous step.

MAC Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88)

Xcode Version 11.2 (11B52)

I think this is a bug in this xcode version.

The rvictl has been relocated to /Library/Apple/usr/bin/ folder. If you add this to your paths, you will be able to use rvictl again.


sudo nano /etc/paths


Add the line /Library/Apple/usr/bin/


Ctrl X to save and type Y to accept. Restart the terminal and rvictl should work now.

The most likely cause of this is the issue discussed on this thread.
