Installing Fortran compiler

I am trying to install the Fortran compiler (and associated libraries and linkers) on my MacBook Pro laptop -- a brand new (Yosemite) system.  I downloaded the "Academic Research Performance Libraries from Intel (OS X*)” to my Mac — a 1.1 Gbyte file named: m_ipp_8.2.1.108.mpkg. I then clicked on this file and went through the install procedure.  What do I do next? I found the webpage:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-compilers-for-linux-and-mac-os-x-compiler-installation-help

but there is no file "install.sh" in the distribution package as mentioned on the above page.  There is a file "link_install.sh" in /opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.1.108.  Is this the file I am to "launch".  How do I "launch" this, by the way -- by typing "sh link_install.sh"?

Along this line, is it really necessary, as a prerequisite (according to the above Intel webpage), to install the full Apple Xcode package?  Isn't it enough to just install the Command Line Tools (as I have done)?  Any general tips would be appreciated.

The package you downloaded has no relationship to Intel Fortran - it is simply the Intel Integrated Performance Primitives library for use with C/C++. We do not currently provide Fortran as a free download except to verified Open Source developers.

A Fortran download would have a filename similar to m_fcompxe_2015.2.132.dmg
