How to check if the button is clickable using selenium webdriver

I am trying to find if the button element is clickable which I am not able to validate successfully using selenium webdriver.

Here is my code to validate if the element is clickable 

    boolean installAFile;

    String classValues = driver.findElement(by.XPATH("//button[contains(., 'Install a new file')]")).getAttribute("class");
    installAFIle = classValues.contains("iconbutton-button--clickable");

    return installAFIle;

Here is the HTML 

<div>
<!-- react-text: 406 -->
test message 1
<!-- /react-text -->
<div class="iconbutton">
<button class="iconbutton-button iconbutton-button--clickable" type="button" 
tabindex="0">
<div class="iconbutton-button-label">Install a new file</div>
</button>
</div>
<!-- react-text: 410 -->
under File > Install.
<!-- /react-text -->
</div>

I keep on getting following validation message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//button[contains(., 'Install a new file')]"}

Element xpath will be;

/html/body/div/div/button/div

Or

//button/div

Or

//div[contains(@class,'iconbutton-button-label')]

Or

//*[contains(text(), 'Install a new file')]

Just write the below method and call it whenever you want to check whether element is clickable or not. Pass the required arguments also.

public static boolean isClickable(WebElement el, WebDriver driver) 
    {
        try{
            WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 6);
            wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(el));
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception e){
            return false;
        }
    }
