Hey John Donnell it looks like the command line tools for xcode might not be installed. Try what it says in the error message and see if that helps:

/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select --install

Almost everything I tried to download in the terminal failed. I did a fresh install of OS X, now everything installed fine with no problems.
