However, it presents the classic 'chicken & egg' problem: how are you supposed to install anything without your dev tools? Fortunately it's easy: 1. Install xcode command line tools. This gets you git. ;-) ``` xcode-select --install ``` 1. Use git to clone propellerhat to your local environment 2. Install [Robo](https://robo.li/) 3. Run the new\_environment installer and specify environment.
