Macos – Mac Mavericks, where is the developer folder after installing xcode

macmacososx-mavericksxcode

I just installed the latest xcode on my Mac Mavericks. There should be a “Developer” folder created in the root folder. but I cannot find it. I am not sure if I installed it incorrectly or the latest version changed the installation path. please help.

From the release notes:

/Developer No Longer Exists

The simplification afforded by repackaging Xcode 4.3 as a single app bundle eliminates the need for the /Developer directory containing prior versions of Xcode. As a result, the Install Xcode application and the uninstall-devtools command line script are also no longer needed.

I had the same issue: Xcode couldn't be installed using the App Store. It might be related to having had an earlier version of Xcode installed.

I solved the problem by downloading Xcode from https://developer.apple.com/resources/ . Click on Mac OS X Downloads and enter your credentials (free; not required to be member of OS X developer program), and select Xcode 4.3.2 for Lion from the list.

With this version of Xcode, it was changed from an installer bundle distribution, installing to /Developer to an actual app, installed to /Applications. Things like developer documentation or command line tools must be installed from Xcode preferences.

Just download the original git package. The installer will install git under /usr/local/git (you need to deactivate security options to run the installer).

There is a preinstalled git wrapper in /usr/bin used by Xcode which does not work without installing Xcode. You need to run /usr/local/git/bin/git explicit or change the PATH variable to contain /usr/local/git/bin before /usr/bin!

Create/edit your ~/.profile with the following:

PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH
export PATH
