Xcode command line tools install error trying to run homebrew I am trying to install homebrew but cannot due to an error popping up when I try to install command line tools. The error says that they cannot be downloaded from the install server.
I already checked the library to see if Xcode is there ..nothing. I'm running Catalina.
Note : I only want the command line tools, not the whole 10GB Xcode download, which I heard snoops on your system. Thanks in advance!
This question has my best answer for installing the tools.

Can&#39;t install Homebrew on macOS Mojave; installer doesn&#39;t recognize Command Line Tools

I prefer running it without Xcode or a developer account, but if your are super paranoid on security, perhaps downloading it from Apple developer wen site lets you validate the checksum and sizing before you install it? If you trust Apple updates for security, you should probably trust them for the Xcode tools, though.
