Good day,
I just received a new MacBook Pro 14 with the M1 ship.
I need to install the Linux Command Line tools but I can find a suitable way to do that.
Is mandatory to install Xcode? Can I install Linux Command Line tool without Xcode?
Cheers
Pierre
It sounds like you want the compile, linker, debugger, make tools. They are NOT LINUX TOOLS. Nothing about macOS is Linux. macOS evolved from the Carnage Mellon MACH kernel and the OpenBSD kernel APIs and many of the utilities. Yes there are some open source (non-GPLv3) software packages, but the core of macOS has no relation to Linux.
To get the Command Line Tools use this command
xcode-select --install

Once you open the Terminal, your are staring at a UNIX command line, and no GNU LVL3 licensed tools are installed. Otherwise, see Bob Harris's comments, or ask more questions about what you need.
Hello
Thanks for your replies. Then I have to ask my colleague for more detail. I will be back at work on Monday.
