Hi, I have been working with ruby/ruby on rails/and mysql (latest releases) on a PC. I just purchased a new Mac with Leopard… I know it comes with ruby and ROR… I want to install the latest versions of Ruby, ROR, Gems, MySQL… I have searched for installing them… any of you know a sure way to install these? Maybe compile them my own? Any help would be appreciated… Thanks! ---

Updating the pre-installed Ruby interpreter is not recommended, as explained here: [http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/ruby/wiki/FAQ](http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/ruby/wiki/FAQ) More info: [http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/ruby/wiki/WhatsNewInLeopard](http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/ruby/wiki/WhatsNewInLeopard) Rubygems and ROR can be updated via Rubygems. You can compile MySQL using these instructions from Dan Benjamin: > **[Dan Benjamin](https://danbenjamin.com)** > > Dan Benjamin's personal website. Best, -Mike On Dec 2, 2:05 am, Gerald R.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the quick reply. I have installed MySql smoothly last night following Dan’s article. Also updated Rubygems, and goign to continue updting the installed gems today, including ROR. I think I will keep my Ruby version for now.

I installed everything from source on Ubuntu and it wasn’t difficult, but I found that it was easier to use MacPorts to install MySQL, Ruby and RubyGems and then use RubyGems to install all the gems you want. I have written a [blog post](http://blog.rayvinly.com/articles/2007/11/29/%0Asetting-up-ruby-on-rails-with-mysql-on-mac-os-x-10-5-leopard) about how I got it to work. Give it a try.
