Install Command Line Developer Tools: can't install the software because it is not currently available from the software update server

I'm having a problem installing the Command Line Developer Tools with xcode-select --install using Xcode 11 beta and on Mac Mojave 10.14.5.

The download starts happening and then gets promptly stopped with a message stating:

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the software update server.

I've looked this up and all the threads that I find all have dead links to download the command line tools:

Example 2

What is command line developer tools Mac?

They allow programmers to compile programs and debug them, convert files, and perform a number of tasks for handling the resources required for making applications and other tools. Running the Terminal-based developer tool “make” on a system without the command line tools installed will prompt you to install them.

I was able to download the command line tools directly from the Downloads page on the Apple Developer site: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=command%20line%20tools

Note you'll need to login with an iCloud account to access it.
