OS: macOS Big Sur Version 11.1 Xcode: Version 12.3
I haven't run C++ on my Mac in 8 months or so. I am trying to run a simple helloworld.cpp file:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
When I run cpp helloworld.cpp in my terminal I receive:
helloworld.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'iostream' file not found
And when I run clang++ -v helloworld.cpp, it says (followed by a long error):
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin
I think the InstalledDir path is the problem based on other posts I've seen. When I run the code in Xcode or CLion it works fine. I looked at this tutorial on YouTube that changes the path to:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/include/c++/v1/
However, I am confused as to how to change this path for the InstalledDir (assuming that's the issue) so that it works in terminal, not just inside of Xcode.
Update: I also just tried using xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/ to change the path from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin and I am still receiving the error.
The error:

I found this Github post and used the commands:
mkdir /tmp/includes
brew doctor 2>&1 | grep "/usr/local/include" | awk '{$1=$1;print}' | xargs -I _ mv _ /tmp/includes
