How to Install Manually

It's very easy to start the installer:

xcode-select --install

The trick is to also have a mechanism to know when it has finished:

while ! test -x /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git ||
    ! test -x /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make; do
    sleep 0.25
done

echo "Command Line Tools Installed"
