These instructions say "install xcode", but then say "once you have xcode installed". Pardon, didn't they skip a step? How do you install xcode?
2.1.1. Install Xcode on OS X 10.9 or later
Download the latest version of Xcode from the Apple developer website
or get it using the Mac App Store.Once you have Xcode installed, open a terminal, run xcode-select
–install, …
Granted, I'm not running 10.9. Here's my version's instructions:
2.1.4. Install Xcode on older releases of Mac OS X
If you have an earlier release of Mac OS X, you may download the
latest version of Xcode for OS X 10.5 (Xcode 3.0 and Xcode 3.1
Developer Tools) or 10.4 (Xcode 2.4.1 and Xcode 2.5 Developer Tools)
from the Apple developer website.Ensure that those of the following options that are available in the
installer for your version of Xcode are selected:UNIX Development System Tools X11 SDK Command Line Support
I downloaded installxcode_421_lion.dmg for this system:
System Software Overview:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63)
Kernel Version: Darwin 11.4.2
Boot Volume: Untitled
Boot Mode: Normal
Computer Name: a MacBook
User Name: thufir (thufir)
Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled
64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No
Time since boot: 7 minutes
I double click the download and install it to Applications? Sorry, this is an alien process.
After thinking I'd installed xcode, I get presented with:

Brents-MacBook:~ thufir$ sudo port install mysql5 +server

So I need to run Install Xcode, which, apparently, isn't a script or executable…I'll click it with the mouse. For posterity, I thought I'd at least mention this to anyone else that there's an extra thing to do to install XCode.
Best Answer
Yes, you can install it in /Applications.
