Troubleshooting
Installation
When installing, you may see the message, "Warning: A newer Command Line Tools release is available."
Update them from Software Update in System Preferences, or run this command:
softwareupdate --all --install --force
If that doesn't show you any updates, run this:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select --install
