N nypaulie Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 22, 2017 #1 This may not be the way to go, but i am trying it anyway. I've installed Mac OS X Mavericks as a "guest" on my Linux Host using VirtualBox. Everything has gone smoothly but I'm getting stuck trying to install XCode 6. After I've downloaded it from the Apple Developer's site and opened the .dmg file to produce the XCode icon, dbl-clicking brings up a screen that asks me to drag the icon into the Applications area. This then proceeds well showing a progress bar, but then it stops saying I do not have enough disk space. I've tried removing any and all programs I can, even the background pictures (including the "hidden" ones) but I still get the disk too small error. I used the "top" mac command to show that I have almost 6000MB free at the time of the install. Anyone have any ideas? If this is a no-go I will move to using the Hosted Mac Builder service, but wanted to check here if anyone can help.

That's not enough. You will need about 20GB ... Jan Upvote 0

Well, that's it then I guess - no way i can get that RAM up to 20 without major surgery and I'm not trained enough for that. No prob, now I will just sign on to the Hosted way. Thanks again! Upvote 0

JanPRO Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 22, 2017 #4 Sorry, I think I have misunderstood you. I was talking about the free disk space and not about the Ram. 6GB ram should be enough. Do you have checked your free disk space? Jan Upvote 0

Just checked... the main folder (paulie) has 2.78GB and the applications folder (this is where i think I need the space?) has 1.2GB. How do I check how much of this is free - unused? I used Finder and Get Info for my figures. Upvote 0
