I am trying to install CLT on OSX 10.9 Mavericks.

Before I ask, I referred to these questons:

Failed to install command line tools on OSX Mavericks

Xcode 4.4 and later install Command Line Tools

I installed XCode 5 via the App Store, with the latest version.

Then, as mentioned in all kinds of tutorials, I typed "xcode-select --install" in the bash, however, there weren't any window telling me to install the CLI, but these outputs:

$ xcode-select --install
Usage: xcode-select -print-path
   or: xcode-select -switch <xcode_folder_path>
   or: xcode-select -version
Arguments:
   -print-path                     Prints the path of the current Xcode folder
   -switch <xcode_folder_path>     Sets the path for the current Xcode folder
   -version                        Prints xcode-select version information

I tried to run "/System/Library/CoreServices/Install\ Command\ Line\ Developer\ Tools.app" manually, but nothing showed up.

I opened the package, and tried 

"sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/Install\ Command\ Line\ Developer\ Tools.app/Contents/MacOS/Install\ Command\ Line\ Developer\ Tools "

And failed like this:

"2013-11-01 19:48:45.060 Install Command Line Developer Tools[42474:507] *** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0x6207, name = 'com.apple.dt.CommandLineTools.installondemand'
See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes."

I enabled root account and try to run it under root, same output.

Unknown of what that means, I tried "--pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI"

It seems that CLI is not working, the outputs are:

"No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI' found at '/'."

I went to Apple 's site, downloaded and installed this file:

command_line_tools_os_x_mavericks_for_xcode__late_october_2013.dmg

Everything goes smoothly, no error reported during the installation.

However, when I try to find the CLI in XCode, it is not there.

Another time "--pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI", still "No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI' found at '/'.".

Now I am completely puzzled...how can I install this CLI?

Thank you very much in advance.

  • What are you expecting to show up in XCode? –  Nov 02 '13 at 00:38
  • I am expecting CLI would show up in "downloads", which is not. – David Zhuang Nov 02 '13 at 01:09
  • The Xcode CLI tools are no longer downloaded through Xcode, so they don't show up in its Downloads manager. I suspect you've already installed them and you just haven't realized it! Try running `cc` from a terminal. –  Nov 02 '13 at 01:26
  • The result is "i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2: no input files". That means OK? Thanks. – David Zhuang Nov 02 '13 at 02:02
  • That doesn't look right - cc should be clang on current versions of Xcode. –  Nov 02 '13 at 03:09
  • It could be OK... If I type `cc` I get a `clang` message, and if I type `gcc` I get the `livm-gcc-4.2` message. – beroe Nov 02 '13 at 03:53
  • Both "gcc" and "cc" would return "i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2: no input files" on my machine... is that right? – David Zhuang Nov 02 '13 at 04:11
  • I get clang error no input files. what does that mean? Ive run the XcodeCLT.pkg from late october, it went through the motions but I can't find the Xcode CLT. What happened? – marciokoko Jan 07 '14 at 23:10
  • The CLI tools dmg is located in the following folder when you download it from within Xcode `~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads` is that what you are looking for? –  Feb 07 '14 at 12:07
  • I checked, it's not there... – David Zhuang Feb 07 '14 at 20:43

Make sure that you have updated to the most recent version of Mavericks, then reboot. Run xcode-select --install again. Otherwise, uninstall XCode and reinstall again from App Store.

I called sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools and then xcode-select --install. sw_vers:
