**Trouble integrating Builder with Hydrogen**

I am trying to use Builder with my Hydrogen project.

I have setup a Hydrogen site on Shopify with a GitHub repo and a development store. Now, I am trying to integrate Builder.

I am following Builder’s [Integrate Pages](https://www.builder.io/c/docs/integrating-builder-pages) tutorial, and I am getting errors at executing this command:

Command: `npm install @builder.io/sdk-react`

**The error message**

```

**Environment**

Machine setup:

- Device: MacBook Pro (2019)
- OS: **macOS, Sequoia 15.3**
- Build tools: **Xcode 16.2**
- Node: Using **nvm**. Version: **v20.12.2**

Code stack:

- Hydrogen (the latest ver. 2025.1.2, as of 2025/3/5)
- React
- Shopify

**Attempted fixes**

I have tried these solutions, but the situation did not improve at all.

Attempt 1: **Xcode license agreement**

```auto
sudo xcodebuild -license accept

```

This was necessary to run the `brew` command at the next step.

Attempt 2: **Homebrew and build tools**

```auto
brew update
brew upgrade
brew install autoconf automake libtool

```

It updated my local `node` , but the command still failed to install sdk-react.

Attempt 3: **Reinstall node modules & clear cache**

```auto
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm cache clean --force
npm install

```

I tried the above for node versions 18, 20, and 22. But, none improved the situation.

**Thank you in advance**

If you have any insights into this issue, please let me know.

This is our test project to evaluate Builder as the primary CMS. Builder appears to be a fantastic solution, and I truly hope to overcome this roadblock so we can move forward with testing its features.

**The issue has been resolved!**

I talked to my team, and we found a solution.

**Cause**

I have **MAMP Pro** software installed on my mac, and it provides its own `libtool`.

Because of my `$PATH` setting, `npm install` was finding the MAMP version of `libtool` instead of the Xcode one.

MAMP `libtool`

- PATH: `/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/libtool`
- Version: 2.4.2

Xcode `libtool`

- PATH: `/usr/bin/libtool`
- Version: _(not displayed with --version option)_

**Solution**

I cleaned up my `$PATH` and ensured that Xcode’s `libtool` was prioritized over the MAMP version. This resolved the issue, allowing the `npm install` command to build and complete successfully.

For a Mac setup, make sure these tools were available for `npm install`:

- Latest `Xcode` and `Xcode-select`  
– `python`  
– `libtool`
- Correct `$PATH`
