getting the following error while trying to install caret package

Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘recipes’ had non-zero exit status

The "non-zero exit status" simply means there was an error. Please post the entire output from the install.packages function and someone will probably be able to provide specific guidance on fixing the problem.

It seems you tried to compile from source rather than accept the binary.
So one option for you is to run the same code again, but accept the binary.
If you need to compile from source on macosx you will need Xcode, what version of Xcode do you have ?

version 1.0.6 21jun2019

I dont think that can be right.
Perhaps try getting version 12 anyway
