Error when trying to install Homebrew?
homebrew requires additional installs before you can proceed: either Xcode or Xcode Command Line Tools.

You can download Xcode (2.1 GB) via App Store.app or the Command Line Tools at developer.apple.com. Both require a valid Apple ID.

The latest CLT release is: Command Line Tools (OS X Mountain Lion) for Xcode April 2014 direct link (~115 MB).



In later system versions you can open Terminal.app and enter xcode-select --install or just gcc to install the necessary tools. You will be asked to either Get Xcode or Install. Choosing Install will download and install the command line tools only.
