You mean I can finally download the command line tools for my new mavericks install so I can build the bcrypt gem and start my rails app? Thanks Apple.

You could have downloaded Xcode from the App Store, from within Xcode you can download the command line tools.

Sure it would have been a bigger download, but it is one route that would have worked and gotten you on your feet sooner.

I have xcode installed. It wasn't in the options list and the docs instructed me to download it from the device center. Which 404d.

You could always move to Windows 8.1

I'm grateful they took security so seriously.

I just had the same issue whereby I couldn't download the command line tools, installing Xcode worked for me at the time. It was listed in preferences -> downloads -> components.

Same here.

Simply running 'git' would trigger the same thing that prompts for installation of Java, just for the command line tools.
