Installing Xcode on Mac

“

- [Instructor] For this course, I'll be using the Visual Studio Community IDE, but you can also follow along using Xcode, which I'll walk you through getting and installing on your Mac computer. From the App Store, search for Xcode, all one word. Click on the link and then click Install for the Xcode software. Once it's done installing, click Open to open the application. To create a new project, click on Create a new Xcode project. In the template dialog, navigate to the macOS tab and select Command Line Tool and click Next. Fill in the fields with any name or identifier that you'd like, but for the language, select C++. Click on Next to create the project template. In here, under the Working folder, there's a file called main.cpp, which will not be used if you want to run the exercise files provided. So I'll go ahead and delete it. To use one of the exercise files, I'll drag the desired .cpp in from the Exercise folder into the Working folder. When the dialog comes up, I select Copy items if needed and ensure that Working is selected in the Add to targets field. Then, I click on Finish to move the desired files. Now that Xcode is all set up, we can start creating programs based on different design patterns.
