Do not install XCode from the App Store. Doing so will install the IDE and lots of stuff you don't need and will take a long time and use a lot of disk space!
Better is to install XCode from the Terminal. Note that installing from the Terminal and installing from the App Store are incompatible.
To install the XCode Command Line Tools from the Terminal:
xcode-select --install
xcode-select -p # /Library/Developer/CommandLineToolsIf xcode-select -p returns "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer", then you are doing it wrong (see above)! To fix this I recommend removing XCode from the /Applications folder and then installing from the Terminal:
xcode-select -p # /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Xcode.app
xcode-select --install
xcode-select -p # /Library/Developer/CommandLineToolsUse Safari to download a zip file of this project from GitHub:
- URL: https://github.com/drmikeh/install-fest
- Click on the "Download ZIP" button on the right.
From the terminal, cd to the directory containing the downloaded zip (which has been conveniently unzipped by Safari) and run the install-fest script:
cd ~/Downloads/install-fest-master
./install-fest
Open a new terminal window and verify that you have a pretty Bash prompt. Then run the following:
brew list
git --version
ruby --version
node --version
