How to download CodeBlocks on Macbook Pro

Help! I've been trying to download codeblocks properly so there aren't any bugs to worry about. Last time I tried I couldn't debug the program and it was crashing consistently. I'm using it for C++. I already have Xcode downloaded but what is the best way to go about the rest.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, 2 TBT3), macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

Why not use the Command-line tools (macOS 10.13) for Xcode 9.4.1 (requires free developer account for download) for High Sierra that match the version number of the installed Xcode. Then you will have a C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++ clang compiler and libraries without having to deal with CodeBlocks at all.


If you absolutely must have CodeBlocks then visit their website and review their download/installation requirements for macOS. Is it a 32-bit development environment? That dog won't hunt in Mojave and later.


Personally, I use the linked Xcode command-line tools for development in the stated languages.
