Command Line Tools

How to update your Command Line Tools (CLT), which work with a version of Xcode.

Installation

$ softwareupdate --all --install --force
Software Update Tool

Finding available software

Downloading Command Line Tools for Xcode

Alternatively, manually download from here.

Update

Update from Software Update in System Preferences.

Or run:

$ softwareupdate --all --install --force

If that doesn’t show you any updates, run this to install CommandLineTools.

$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
$ sudo xcode-select --install

I found the last bit didn’t do anything, but running the softwareupdate... command after that worked.
