There are a variety of command line tools you will require to complete this tutorial. Most are available by default on Unix-based operating systems like Linux or OSX. Some you must explicitly install.
OSX doesn’t come with some of these command line tools by default. Fortunately they are easy to install on OSX 10.9 Mavericks and newer. Open the Terminal application, found in /Applications/Utilities/ and enter:
make
These newer versions of OSX recognize that make is one of the command line tools not included in the base OSX installation and offers to install all the command line tools. This download is free.
In older versions of OSX, you can still open the Terminal application and enter:
xcode-select --install
This command will do the same thing explicitly.
You can also go directly to the Apple Developer site and download the command line tools directly. The site will require you to register, but that is free. This is the URL of the Apple Developer Downloads site: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action Search for the latest version of the command line tools for your OSX version.
Linux systems have a package manager to install new applications and manage existing ones. You can check your system’s documentation for guidance on its use.
For debian based systems including Ubuntu you need to run:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
For RedHat based distributions, including Fedora and CentOS, run:
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
