I just installed xcode 4.5 and need to install the command line tools. The apple documentations says (with very little detail) that there is a download section in the preferences pane. I have yet to see anywhere that allows you to download anything, specifically the command line tools.

Did Apple change xcode drastically, I do not have a downloads section.

On Xcode:

Preferences > Downloads > Components

DMG's directly from:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads

I just uploaded a screenshot. I do not have a downloads tab. Unless I am looking somewhere wrong.... – ngramsky Oct 4 '12 at 4:06
@ngramsky I think you are. Click the Xcode menu, go preferences, then go downloads tab, then click the Components subtab. That's what I see here, using 4.5. – chico Oct 4 '12 at 4:11

@ngramsky ... your screen shot is weird. I don't know what's up. – chico Oct 4 '12 at 4:14
Thanks! Unsure why the download tab is no longer present. It seems like Apple is making A LOT of weird changes lately.... – ngramsky Oct 4 '12 at 4:17
This is the 'new' xcode that was downloaded yesterday.... Version 4.5.1 – ngramsky Oct 4 '12 at 4:18

That screenshot displays a very old version of XCode. Are you sure you are starting a current version of XCode?
