Hi, running ./install on macOS Monterey 12.3.1 fails with the following error:

Install RDM to /Applications? (Y/n): Y

An error occured; try again

Try this:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Hi, after running
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

I get this result:

xcode-select: error: invalid developer directory '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer'

What I should do?

You need to install Xcode from the app store. Beware it's nearly 20 GBs in size. Then the aforementioned command should work.

In case Xcode is already installed, the error suggests a general problem with Xcode, not the RDM library.
The one liner fingers-crossed solution:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
# When proceeding, I also had to setup more stuff:
# xcodebuild -license
# xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

For context:

This problem happens when xcode-select developer directory was pointing to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools when a full regular Xcode was required (happens when CommandLineTools are installed after Xcode)
