I am trying to install ios-deploy on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11 by running sudo npm install -g ios-deploy and it end up with this error message:
sh: line 1: 1106 Abort trap: 6 xcodebuild

npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the ios-deploy package,

npm ERR! You can get their info via:
npm ERR! npm owner ls ios-deploy

Why is it fail? How can I solve it?
This seems to be an issue since El Capitan. Either try:
npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true
or:
npm install -g ios-deploy --allow-root
This solution is proposed at the relating github from ios-deploy.
I tried with different ways.
This line worked for me.
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm ios-deploy
npm with allow root or unsafe params didn't worked for me. try brew. Command would be
brew install ios-deploy
if you don't have brew install then its couple of seconds. install here https://brew.sh/
brew was the only thing worked on my mac-mini High Sierra
Here is a new Solution, which is working right now.....
You need Download Xcode from APP Store, in X-code go in Preferences > Location > Command Line Tools, then select one of the listed options. After that you can install:
sudo npm install -g ios-sim
sudo npm install --global --unsafe-perm ios-deploy
See Newer StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/a/59581099/329984
The Homebrew and npm versions will be updated at the same time going forward.
To use ios-deploy as a command-line tool it is recommended you now install it directly via Homebrew(and if you have already installed it via npm to uninstall it).

iOS-deploy allow us install and debug iPhone apps from the command line, without using Xcode.
The first line works for me.
npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true
