I am performing a clean install of MacOS Mavericks on a Macbook Pro 2012 (Mid). While attempting to set the date from the terminal in OSX Utilities, I am confronted with a prompt telling me command not found when using both ntpdate and sntp commands.

I am well aware of the similar questions below, but the answers of neither one helps me.

ntpdate command not found ? MacOS MOJAVE

In other words I have tried the following to no success:

sudo ntpdate -u time.apple.com

sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com

Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Try `man ntpdate` to see if it tells you the PATH to the `ntpdate` as it may not be in root's PATH. Else try looking for it with `find`. – Mark Setchell Nov 24 '18 at 18:05
  • Thanks for the advise. I ended up manually setting the date using: **date [MMddHHmmYYYY]** in OSX Utilities. I was then able to successfully install Mavericks. Once installed the above commands for setting date using ntp server are recognized. Still don't know why they were NOT recognized in OSX Utilities terminal. – tas-man Nov 25 '18 at 09:08
