 ### Install prerequisites:
-- Install XCode and set it up to the point where you can build things from a terminal
+- Install XCode Command Line tools
 - Install the official build of CMake (https://cmake.org/download/)
 - Install JDK 8 (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html)
 - Get Qt 5.6 and install it (https://download.qt.io/new_archive/qt/5.6/5.6.3/)
 
+### XCode Command Line tools

+If you don't have XCode CommandLine tools installed, you can install them by using this command in the Terminal App
+
+```bash
+xcode-select --install

 ### Build
 
 Pick an installation path - this is where the final `.app` will be constructed when you run `make install`. Supply it as the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` argument during CMake configuration.
