- [Instructor] Xcode is Apple's IDE for building applications in Swift, Objective-C, C, and our favorite, C++. Being Apple's official IDE means it only runs on the Mac. The easiest way to install Xcode is from the Mac app store. In the upper left hand corner of your Mac click the Apple logo, click App Store. In the Search box type Xcode. Go ahead and click Xcode, and then you're going to click Get, and they'll you'll click Install App. Xcode is five and a half gigabytes, the size, so it may take a while to download. Once it is installed, you're going to go to the Finder, Applications, Xcode. Now I've already got a copy that is downloaded on my machine, so let's launch that instead. We're going to go Xcode. I'm going to accept the Software License Agreement. Let it finish installing components. Xcode launches, displays it's Welcome page, and we are ready to start writing C++ programs in Xcode.
