# 1) Refresh using Apple's data source
xcodes update --data-source apple
# 2) List betas and verify the one you need
xcodes list | grep -iw beta
# 3) Install (copy the exact version string from the list)
xcodes install "<version string>"
Notes
Switching to Apple’s feed avoids duplicate-version issues in the XcodeReleases JSON. Revert later if you prefer that feed.
