title: Installing the Xcode command line tools
order: 10
---

Before we can get started, we need some basic tools for development.
They are bundled in the _Xcode command-line tools_ so let's install
that first.

Open the Terminal application, and type the following command:

```bash
xcode-select --install
```

A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm the installation.
Confirm, and go make a cup of coffee while the install does its thing.
Revert "chore: Linting for markdown and js" This reverts commit 1c92e0f655c1b34e4b1f6807914529cc4d82ff81. 2021-10-17 18:26:00 +02:00			`---`
feat: Flat import of markdown repo This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown 2021-08-25 16:09:31 +02:00			`title: Installing the Xcode command line tools`
