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.

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

On Xcode:

Preferences > Downloads > Components

DMG's directly from:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads

  • @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.

  • Thanks! Unsure why the download tab is no longer present. It seems like Apple is making A LOT of weird changes lately....

The downloads tab is not available when you open xcode-developer. I found his out by searching in spotlight and noticing two versions could be opened. Open the xcode-main one instead and follow the instructions as above.

Xcode 5.1.1 has a new argument:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/xcode -installComponents

For xCode version 5.1.1

Start the Xcode program

Select Xcode from the top left of the toolbar.

Select Open Developer Tools instead of Preferences.

Select More Developer Tools at the bottom of the list and it will take you to the Apple Developer Page where you can download the Command Line Tools.

EDIT: Added a another step to the instructions after reading the post from Garman
