# Installing Xcode

## Get an AppleID account

You will need an AppleID account.

I tried unsuccessfully to create one of these using the App Store app on the mac1.metal instance. If you need a new AppleID for your project, go to <https://appleid.apple.com/account> to create one.

## Agree to terms of service

I also had big problems using the Apple App Store on the mac1.metal instance to download Xcode, so I recommend the following procedure.

Open Apple Music on the mac1.metal instance.

## Download Xcode


Open Safari on the mac1.metal instance and go to <http://developer.apple.com/xcode>.

Click the version of Xcode you want to download. If you need an older version, try [this link](https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Xcode) and if needed filter by Xcode version number.

Sign in.
