Rails - Nov 2005 - newbie: Getting started on Windows XP & MAc OSX 10.4

Hello,

What installs do you recommend for Windows XP and MAc OSX 10.4?

I want to setup Rails as easy as I can.

Thanks

Frank

You can checkout Locomotive for one click installer for MacOS X.  
Otherwise, I like to use Darwin Ports.

On MacOS X, it''s a real no-brainer: use Locomotive
       http://locomotive.sourceforge.net/

I would also suggest you download an evaluation copy of TextMate: 
although not an IDE, this editor works fine with Locomotive, and offer 
you a project wide view of all the project files.
       http://macromates.com/

There''s also a very useful - and free - party plugin for TextMate:

For OSX you should check out Locomotive:

  http://locomotive.sourceforge.net/

For Windows, check out Instant Rails:

  http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/

Thanks, Just installed instantrails, will try locomotive tonight when I 
get home.

I am coming from a JSP, PHP environment. Hoping that rails won''t be too
hard to learn.

Frank

Fink for OS X also now supports Ruby on Rails, with current Ruby (1.8.3), 
rubygems (0.8.11), sqlite (2.8.16), sqlite3 (3.2.7), mysql (5.0.15) and 
postgresql (8.0.4 and 8.1.0 beta 4) databases.

The nice thing about using Fink is that it is managed using a package management
system, so as Fink releases newer versions of these packages, it''s very
easy to
upgrade.

Disclaimer, I am a Fink developer and manage the ruby, rubygems and sqlite 
packages :)

Blair
