Xcode Command Line Tools by Daniel Kehoe. Last updated 7 December 2016. How to install Apple Xcode Command Line Tools for macOS Sierra. Complete guide to installation. Xcode is a large suite of software development tools and libraries from Apple. The Xcode Command Line Tools are part of XCode.

Xcode includes everything developers need to create great applications for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Xcode provides developers a unified workflow for user interface design, coding, testing, and debugging.

Best compression for mac. • Easily edit PDF texts, graphics, images, links, watermarks, etc. • Convert PDF to images, Word, Excel, PPT, EPUB and more formats. • Create PDF from other formats and create PDF forms easily.

The Xcode IDE combined with the Cocoa frameworks and Swift programming language make developing apps easier and more fun than ever before. Xcode includes the Xcode IDE, Swift and Objective-C compilers, Instruments analysis tool, simulators, the latest SDKs, and hundreds of powerful features.

After following many outdated and incomplete instructions for setting up a web development environment on a Mac (back in March 2012), and spending a lot of time finding solutions to the problems I encountered along the way, I decided to put together this detailed tutorial. Over time, as tools have improved, and with new releases of OS X, I've updated this tutorial. With Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite and Mavericks, setting up a development environment on a Mac with Apple's standalone Command Line Tools, Homebrew, Git, RVM, Ruby, and Rails is a fairly stress-free process that's no longer fraught with the issues from two years ago. In fact, the whole process can now be automated via the that I wrote for you.

Whether you use my script that does everything for you, or set everything up manually, it's best that you start with a clean installation of OS X. If you've already tried to install a development environment, I can't guarantee that you won't run into any issues.

Certain tools used in this tutorial might not be compatible with whatever you might have installed. For example, RVM is not compatible with rbenv, and MacPorts is not compatible with Homebrew. Click on your OS X version below to get started: • • • • Historical Background Up until February 2012, the only way you could get the Command Line Tools required for web development was via the full Xcode package, which is almost 2 GB in size. Since then, Apple started offering the Command Line Tools (CLT) as a separate, much smaller download (~118MB), which benefits those who don't plan on writing Mac or iOS apps. There is also a third-party option, the by Kenneth Reitz, that supports both Snow Leopard and Lion. However, it is not updated as often as the official Apple tools, and I personally ran into issues with it on Lion. When I tried Apple's CLT for Lion back in March 2012, they weren't compatible with Homebrew: Warning: Your Xcode is configured with an invalid path.

You should change it to the correct path. Please note that there is no correct path at this time if you have *only* installed the Command Line Tools for Xcode. As of August 6, 2012, the issue above is no longer present with the latest CLT for Mountain Lion, and I believe that's the case on Lion as well, but I haven't confirmed that yet.

Until I do, I recommend getting the CLT from Xcode if you're on Lion, as explained in this tutorial. The Easy Way for Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite and Mavericks I've written an open source script that can, including configuring your Mac to work with GitHub. If you prefer to do everything manually, start with Step 1 below.

Step 1: Download and Install the Command Line Tools Installing the standalone Command Line Tools on Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite or Mavericks Most of the work you'll be doing in this tutorial will be in the 'Terminal' application. The easiest way to open an application in OS X is to search for it via. The default keyboard shortcut for invoking Spotlight is command-Space.
