How long should Xcode 7 installation take

I am trying to install Xcode 7 for the fifth time. I always complete the download but the installation does complete. Currently, I've been waiting for over 3 hours for installation and it's still not done.

Seems to be a memory issue, for 4GB ram will take about 3 hours, and for 16GB ram will take about 30 minutes

I was fighting with the same issue for few days, and I found out that none of above answers is complete.

  1. Go to developer.apple.com
  2. Login
  3. Go to downloads (don't click on xcode yet)
  4. Go to see all downloads
  5. Now navigate to find your desired version of xcode
  6. Download .dmg file

Unless you follow those steps you might end like me - being redirected over and over again to the appstore page (and download there was never ending)

It's not the installation that is actually taking the most time, but verification of Xcode, once it's downloaded. Like yourself, I was wondering what was going on, but found it best to let it run its course. It would be better if there were some type of progress indicator during the process.
