Hi all,

I have written full ERP Accounting application TooLERP - The Best Small Business ERP  
Accounting Software. I am using Instant Rails to make it available  
to windows users. I was wondering if there is an equivalent software  
on Mac also? I have heard that Mac OS X comes pre installed with Ruby  
on Rails.

For lower versions (Tiger) you can install Locomotive and start using  
Rails Apps. Has someone used it? How hard is it ? Please share your  
expriences.

Regards,

Nick

You might try the Ruby & Rails Developer Bundle from EnterpriseDB  
(basically Rails + PostgreSQL stack)

My approach to the same problem for my app (Open Campground) has been to  
distribute it as a frozen app both in InstantRails and otherwise. When  
frozen you will not depend on Rails or your gems being installed on the  
target system. You will just have to have Ruby and the database which  
simplifies things a lot.

Have not had any installs on Mac OS but it should work there also.
