Getting heroku db:pull to Work

• Install RVM
• Install Ruby 1.9.2

$ rvm install 1.9.2

• I had to do this business per the instructions I saw when I ran that command:

$ brew update
$ brew tap homebrew/dupes
$ brew install autoconf automake apple-gcc42
$ rvm pkg install openssl
$ rvm reinstall all --force

• Use Ruby 1.9.2

$ rvm use 1.9.2

• Install heroku, taps, pg, and sqlite3 (for some reason)

$ gem install heroku
$ gem install taps
$ gem install pg
$ gem install sqlite3

There. Now you can do something cool like:

$ heroku db:pull postgres://localhost/yourdatabase

You should not have to use sudo on any of those commands.

It took me a long time to realize that I needed to use Ruby 1.9.2 to get this to work.

#Quick Win

in your Gemfile, add the taps gem into development group.

gem 'taps', :require => false

Then run bundle install

after this, try heroku db:pull --app xxx again!
