I just got my first Mac after using PCs my entire life and I''m trying to get the rails stack set up. I know Leopard comes with rails, but I believe it doesn''t come with mysql (since the ''mysql'' command doesn''t work at the command line). This means I''d have to install this (either using mysql''s self installer or installing from source) is this correct? Next, where should I store my rails apps? Should that be in my user folder somewhere? I''m planning on using Cyperduck, cocoamysql and textmate. Any other programs I should be aware of? Any suggestions would help this noob out a lot. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Any other > programs I should be aware of?I don''t know if you only meant to include graphical tools, but you really should use some form of version control (git, svn etc...) . I also find the rdoc dashboard widget handy.

I''ve got another question. So I''ve installed mysql and added the following to .bash_login: export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin: $PATH" Then I type: . ~/.bash_login and the ''mysql'' command is available to me. However, if I open a new terminal, the ''mysql'' command isn''t available. Can someone tell me what I need to do so that I don''t have to execute .bash_login each time? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The hivelogic guide takes the approach of compiling everything yourself. Some folks prefer this approach because it gives you complete control. But you can set up an effective Rails development envioronment much more simply. If you want a guide to a minimal installation that will get you up and running, we''ve posted one here: http://www.buildingwebapps.com/articles/17-setting-up-rails-on-leopard-mac Michael Slater www.BuildingWebApps.com On Apr 25, 1:58 pm, Daniel Waite <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> eggman2001 wrote: > > Any suggestions would help this noob out a lot. > > The only guide you will ever need:http://hivelogic.com/articles/2008/02/ruby-rails-leopard > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/.--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
