I am unable to install due to the following error:
"can't install the software because it is not currently available from the software update server"
Mac OS: Tahoe 26.1
CLI: Iterm2
Command : xcode-select --install
Output: Command transitions to a GUI installer and attempts to download but fails with the attached error.
As a result I am unable to proceed with installing Homebrew from CLI or downloaded pkg
Thanks for the post, I don’t see what are you selecting to install. Download Directly from the Apple Developer Portal is the recommended way or better use the Apple Store for the release version.
Go to the Apple Developer Downloads page.
Sometimes the GUI fails, but forcing the macOS software update utility through the terminal works.
If Xcode is a beta or internal build, the xcode-select --install command will almost always fail because Apple does not host beta Command Line Tools on the public production update servers.
I would recommend to install the Xcode you want from the developer portal if beta or RC and the App Store if you want the latest release version.

It turned out to be a Mac OS version compatibility issue. I needed to upgrade to 26.2 or higher to install XCode CLT
