Hello Forum -
I'm trying to install XCode on my iMac (OSX 10.10.5). A little digging revealed that I would need XCode Version 6.4. Found XCode 6.4 available for download at [https://developer.apple.com/download/more/]. There are two dmgs: XCode 6.4 and XCode 6.4 Command Line Tools. Do I need to install both of these? Tried installing XCode 6.4.dmg first. Took quite a while. Looked like everything went o.k. An XCode icon appeared with my other applications. BUT - when I try to run it an error message comes up - 'Install additional required components?'. I can respond with either 'Quit' or 'Install'. If I 'Quit', Xcode closes - end of story. If I try to 'Install', I am prompted for for the admin password, which I enter. When it attempts to do the installation an error message comes up saying 'An unknown error occurred. See the install log for more details'. The messages in the install log make no sense to me. But here are the last few ...

Does that make sense to anybody? I thought it might help to also install the 'Command Line Tools', which I did. But the result was exactly the same. Something seems to be missing on my iMac?
Next I tried to uninstall XCode. Couldn't do that either, but I may have stumbled upon some useful info. Uninstalling old versions of XCode requires running a script:
[
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all]This script calls 3 similar commands. They will not run, because they cannot be found. It turns out there is no /Developer directory on my iMac. Should there be? Could that be my problem with XCode?
Thanks for any help.
