Mac OS X Developer Tools

Apple provides a number of applications and command-line tools to help you develop your software. These tools include compilers, debuggers, performance analysis tools, visual design tools, scripting tools, version control tools, and many others. Many of these tools are installed with Mac OS X by default but the rest require you to install Xcode first. Xcode is available for free from the Apple Developer Connection website. For more information on how to get these tools, see “Getting the Xcode Tools.”

Note: Documentation for most of the command-line tools is available in the form of man pages. You can access these pages from the command line or from Mac OS X Man Pages. For more information about using the command-line tools, see “Command Line Primer.”
