[OT] What''s the best way to install ruby/rails on Mac OS X?
Hello folks, I''ve newly bought a Mac and am new to it. I want to install Ruby on Rails on it (Ruby, Rails, SVN, Apache, MySQL, ...) but I''m not sure which way is the best. Should I go for Fink? OpenDarwin? Or just install them directly on mac. What about something in Fink, something in OpenDarwin and something directly? I''m a bit confused, may you please give me a clue on how to prepare my mac for coding?

If you just want to try out rails, use Locomotive.

I''m new to macs and never tried fink, but afaik port is the the standard package manager on freebsd, thus probably not a bad choice. It has subversion, apache 2.2.2, ruby, rubygems, postgres and anything else i''ve needed. Followed the recipe on http://www.nshb.net/install-ruby-and-rails-on-mac-intel . (stopped after installing postgres. don''t want/need fcgi/lighty/mysql/apache on my dev box.)

Re: What''s the best way to install ruby/rails on Mac OS X?
If you are in a hurry, you can also use Locomotive: http://locomotive.raaum.org/ which is as easily installed as any other OSX app and also doesnt change your system in any way (not that permanently installing ruby would be a bad thing ^^) Now you only need Mysql, get the OSX package from mysql.com The only real downside with this is, imo, that you dont nearly learn as much as when you install RoR manually. bye Daniel (whose apostrophe key just stopped working, sorry for that...) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Also, you need to use update the PATH twice. Consider doing it just once by following the instructions at the end. If you update it twice, you will need to issue the command to update the path in your active terminal session twice.

Re: What''s the best way to install ruby/rails on Mac OS X?
Here''s a guide I wrote (heavily influenced by the hivelogic one). http://blog.tuples.us/?page_id=7 You''ll only need the first part. The second part is for deploying to textdrive. I really don''t like fink, opendarwin, or anything like that. This guide installs everything you need without those tools. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: [OT] What''s the best way to install ruby/rails on Mac OS X?
Thank you all guys. I got my answer, but I like to know is it possible to have for example Ruby installed directly, MySQL from OpenDarwin and Apache from Fink? Can they work together seamlessly? Or if I chose one, I should go only with that?

In fact you lose the whole advantage of letting a package-mgmt system run dependencie management for you when you start picking and choosing like that.
