Command Line Tools on OSX 10.9: Installed, but can't show up?

I am trying to install CLT on OSX 10.9 Mavericks.

Before I ask, I referred to these questons:

Failed to install command line tools on OSX Mavericks

Xcode 4.4 and later install Command Line Tools

I installed XCode 5 via the App Store, with the latest version.

Then, as mentioned in all kinds of tutorials, I typed "xcode-select --install" in the bash, however, there weren't any window telling me to install the CLI, but these outputs:

$ xcode-select --install
Usage: xcode-select -print-path
   or: xcode-select -switch <xcode_folder_path>
   or: xcode-select -version
Arguments:
   -print-path                     Prints the path of the current Xcode folder
   -switch <xcode_folder_path>     Sets the path for the current Xcode folder
   -version                        Prints xcode-select version information

I tried to run "/System/Library/CoreServices/Install\ Command\ Line\ Developer\ Tools.app" manually, but nothing showed up.

I opened the package, and tried 

"sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/Install\ Command\ Line\ Developer\ Tools.app/Contents/MacOS/Install\ Command\ Line\ Developer\ Tools "

And failed like this:

"2013-11-01 19:48:45.060 Install Command Line Developer Tools[42474:507] *** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0x6207, name = 'com.apple.dt.CommandLineTools.installondemand'
See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes."

I enabled root account and try to run it under root, same output.

Unknown of what that means, I tried "--pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI"

It seems that CLI is not working, the outputs are:

"No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI' found at '/'."

I went to Apple 's site, downloaded and installed this file:

command_line_tools_os_x_mavericks_for_xcode__late_october_2013.dmg

Everything goes smoothly, no error reported during the installation.

However, when I try to find the CLI in XCode, it is not there.

Another time "--pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI", still "No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI' found at '/'.".

Now I am completely puzzled...how can I install this CLI?

Thank you very much in advance.

Make sure that you have updated to the most recent version of Mavericks, then reboot. Run xcode-select --install again. Otherwise, uninstall XCode and reinstall again from App Store.
