What does this message mean?

[StarShot]

The “codesign_allocate” command requires the
command line developer tools. Would you like to
install the tools now?


Choose Install to continue. Choose get Xcode and
the command line developer tools from the App Store.
==================================
I'm running El Capitan beta 4 and I get the above message quite frequently. So far, I just disregard it, but I'm starting to wonder if it's a scam?

I don't know what command you're trying to run but it's highly unlikely that it's a scam

not a scam; it pops up when i first go to use my (wireless, hp) printer. i click "no", and everything works. been meaning to look into it...

I get that also when printing with public beta2 to my HP wireless printer .....

so install the tools

I got this same message when setting up my Canon wireless printer after reinstalling Yosemite. It is a legit message and simply clicking on Install downloads the tools needed. You do not need to download Xcode to get the message to go away.

Got it as well in PB2 when printing. I dismissed it and printing worked fine anyway.
