A favour from a Mavericks user who hasn't installed developer tools

Hi,

I’m interested to find out what command line tools are installed in Mavericks before Apple’s developer tools are installed.

If your running Mavericks and haven’t installed the development or command line tools then I’ve a favour to ask.

  1. Start Terminal (You’ll find it in Applications/Utilities)
  2. Type ruby --version

a) Do you get: “ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]”?

b) If not do you get a dialog asking you to install the command line tools, Xcode or cancel? Click cancel.

c) Did you just get “-bash: ruby: command not found”

  1. Can you type “git” into the terminal, do you now get the dialog described in b)

TIA
Kevin

I keep one ‘clean machine’ without any kind of development products installed. It is running OSX 10.9. Here is what my Terminal replies:

ruby --version
ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]

git
xcode-select: note: no developer tools were found at ‘/Applications/Xcode.app’, requesting install. Choose an option in the dialog to download the command line developer tools.

I did not install anything when the ensuing dialog appeared.

Good luck,

As Craig said, the answer is none. When you install Xcode, they are installed within Xcode, but it’s an extra step to have them installed separately – which you may need to do if you plan to use them from the command line.

Thanks Craig,

I’m pleased to see that ruby is already installed without having to install the developer command line tools.

I new that “git” wasn’t going to be there it was ruby that I’m interested in. I was using an attempt to run git as proof that the developer command line tools weren’t installed and that situation was as I expected.

I searched for a listing of what command line tools are included when the developer tools are installed but I couldn’t find any information. Thus the request.
