This visit I finally bit the bullet and upgraded from Mavericks to High Sierra. That upgrade wasn’t flawless, but it’s working. I also installed a compatible version of Xcode from the App Store. Now I’m stuck trying to install the command line tools. Earlier today I kept getting network errors and now every time I try it gets stuck on "Finding Software". <div><br></div><div>I have not yet installed the appropriate version of MacPorts nor have I uninstalled my installed ports. (They all seem to be working.)</div><div><br></div><div>I’ll only be here a few more days, but I hesitate to proceed until I install the command line tools. </div><div><br></div><div>What should I do if I’m unable to install the command line tools before I go back home?</div><div><br></div><div>====</div><div><br></div><div>Aside: To be honest, it’s not clear to me if I have to separately install the command line tools if I have already done a full install of Xcode.
