Install Command Line Tools for Xcode

Command Line Tools are required for Homebrew. Previously it was suggested to download Xcode 4, but since the new version doesn't ship the proper gcc compiler for rvm, the command line tools are a better option and then using homebrew to get the gcc compiler. If preferred, install Xcode 4, although this setup doesn't follow that set of instructions.

Really the nicest choice for a terminal on OSX right now, especially with Lion style full screen support.

These commands are good as of 2012-03-18.

Install Xcode 4

The download/install takes a while so start it first. When it finishes downloading you will still need to run it to complete installation.

Note: Make sure you install the XCode Command Line Tools after XCode is done installing. To do this go to Xcodes -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Command Line Tools -> Install. If you don't you might not be able to install brew packages (i.e. brew install wget will fail).*
