Setting Up Rails Development Environment on Mac OS X

This is for my development environment on my Macs. This was done on a 64bit MBP and a 64bit iMac, both running Mac OS X 10.6.4

Based on The Install (Snow Leopard Edition)

I am not responsible for anything that may result from following the instructions below. Proceed at your own risk.

Setup Dotfiles

From

http://github.com/hashrocket/dotmatrix
http://github.com/jferris/config_files
http://github.com/ryanb/dotfiles

Remove system gems

sudo rm -r /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem clean

Install Homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsS http://gist.github.com/raw/323731/install_homebrew.rb)"

Install Xcode

Be sure to have XCode Tools Version 3.2.1 (1613) or later (there were bugs with the dvd release version).

Install some tools

brew install wget

Install Git

brew install git

Install MySQL

brew install mysql

Edit my.cnf for UTF-8 (Source)

vim /usr/local/var/mysql/my.cnf

The file should contain

[mysqld]
collation_server=utf8_general_ci
character_set_server=utf8

Then restart MySQL

launchctl stop com.mysql.mysqld
launchctl start com.mysql.mysqld

Install RVM

bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )

Edit .bashrc / .profile or .bash_profile

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

Source your new .bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

Then check if RVM installed ok:

type rvm | head -n1

You should get:

rvm is a function

Link Homebrew's Readline

brew link readline

Install Rubies (Source)

rvm install 1.8.7 -C --enable-shared,--with-readline-dir=/usr/local
rvm install ree -C --enable-shared,--with-readline-dir=/usr/local
rvm install 1.9.2 -C --enable-shared,--with-readline-dir=/usr/local

Setup gemsets (Source)

rvm gemset create rails2
rvm gemset create rails3
rvm use 1.8.7@rails2
gem install rails
rvm use 1.8.7@rails3
gem install rails

Switch between Rails 2 and 3

rvm use 1.8.7@rails2
		OR
rvm use 1.8.7@rails3

Finally, set default Ruby

rvm --default 1.8.7@rails2

Instal some gems

If you get any error regarding the mysql gem try this
