What exactly is the problem, so at which step do you get stuck? Alternatively, and much easier, would be to install it via the conda package manager: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ambertools

I am completely lost. Starting with Xcode. I install Xcode from app store but when I ran the command "sudo xcodebuild -license" on terminal, I received this output "error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance". I don't know how to proceed and I don't even know anything about Xcode.

As noted by ATpoint use the directions in this tutorial to install conda program. Creating workflows with snakemake and conda Then it will allow you to install ambertools with a simple conda create -n ambertools ambertools. You will use conda activate ambertools to use the actual program.
