So what is the recommended Rails install method on OSX?
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoInstallOnOSXTiger seems
surprisingly convoluted (and maybe even out of date?), given that it
usually seems like most Rails developers are on Macs. (Disclaimer: I
myself develop on Ubuntu, where the install was trivial, but I need to
assist another developer in setting up a dev environment on OSX.)
The Apple page [1] pointed to by the rails wiki suggests Locomotive [2],
which doesn’t exist anymore at that web site. Or perhaps [3], which is
pointed to by the Apple page as well? But that page is from 2005, and
has you compiling almost everything from source…
How about the Bitnami ruby stack [4] ? The instructions /seem/
straightforward… but…
Help? Thanks…
