Thanks very helpful

This worked perfectly, much appreciated.

Thanks! :-)

Thanks. Working on Sierra too :-)

Working in Sierra!

Just a few extra comments for those of us that are really new to command line:

1. Go to your root folder
   $ cd ~

2. Find the bin folder
   $ ls
   $ cd bin

3. Create the .sh file (with whatever your favorite text editor is)
   $ nano cltools.sh

4. Save the file and make it executable
   $ chmod +x cltools.sh

5. Run the file
   $ sh ./cltools.sh

And it should work! Thank you @justinbellamy this worked perfectly. You saved me a bundle of time!

This should have a link for autoconf as

curl -OL http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.xz

Otherwise tar doesn't recognize the archive format and exits.
