I tried installing the BarcodeScanner plugin. When I tried to install the Ionic wrapper:
Installing Ionic Native wrapper
npm install --save @ionic-native/barcode-scanner
I ran into an error, I’ve pasted it here:

What i can see
I can see from the error that pkg-config seems to be missing. I’ve installed this plugin before without this issue? Also, I don’t have Homebrew install, which seems to be the way to add pkg-config. Preferably I don’t want to install Homebrew as it only caused me headaches in the past.
Any ideas?
