I am installing homebrew on macOS High Sierra 10.13. I have already installed the Command Line Tools for Xcode which is a requirement for homebrew. When installation of homebrew starts I am forced to install command line tools (or abort). When I do this the installation process hangs. I don't understand why this hangs but more importantly I don't understand why it is trying to install CLT when I can show that they are already available on my machine.

                    do you have the latest version of Xcode? CLT updated with the latest version of XCode. – Natsfan Jul 19 '18 at 22:23

                    I installed CLT earlier this week and I just did a check for available software updates and Xcode is not there so I imagine that's not the problem. – Thomas.maher Jul 20 '18 at 20:57

                    Please don’t add the [brew] tag; it has nothing to do with [homebrew]. – bfontaine Aug 17 '18 at 08:19

        In my case the xcode command line tools can be installed.
My environment is mac os.
In the terminal please enter
xcode-select --install
And it takes a little time to install
Check out macOS requirements in this article [https://docs.brew.sh/Installation]
good luck.
