- First, delete the Xcode tools by using the below command.
sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select -print-path)This above command asks for a system password.
- Now, install the Xcode by running this command.
xcode-select --installThis command prompts with a popup, click on the install button and proceed with the installation.
