How can I run Xcode 7 beta 5 on OS X 10.10.3?

Question

I have downloaded Xcode 7 beta 5 and was trying to install it on Mac 10.10.3. This is the error message I got:

You can’t use this version of the application “Xcode-beta.app” with this version of OS X.

You have OS X 10.10.3. The application requires OS X 10.10.4 or later.

In Xcode Release notes it is said that OS X 10.10.3 is supported.

Xcode 7 beta 5 requires a Mac running OS X 10.10.3 or later.

How can I get Xcode beta 5 run on 10.10.3?

Easiest solution: update to OS X 10.10.4. – Paul R Aug 07 '15 at 05:51 — Paul R, Aug 07 '15 at 05:51

Probably the easiest solution is jut to go to the OS X App Store, select the Updates tab, and then update your OS to 10.10.4.

When the problem is how to run it on 10.10.3, updating to 10.10.4 isn't a solution. But it does seem there is no way around it. – entonio Aug 12 '15 at 22:09
