Just Arrived - Dev machine setup

1. Install Homebrew

   First of all install Homebrew a.k.a brew (OSX package manager, like apt-get).

   Goto https://brew.sh/ and follow the instructions.

2. Install Command Line Tools

   Open a terminal and run:

   $ xcode-select --install
   

3. Install ruby-install (install multiple versions of Ruby)

   $ brew install ruby-install
   

   Then install Ruby 2.4:

   ruby-install ruby-2.4
   

4. Install chruby (switch between Ruby versions)

   $ brew install chruby
   

   Configure and add a default Ruby version (see more detailed info):

   In ~/.bashrc (or if you use zsh ~/.zshrc), add:

   source /usr/local/share/chruby/chruby.sh
   chruby ruby-2.4
   

5. Install bundler

   $ gem install bundler # npm/yarn for Ruby
   

   and install some other nice ruby tools:
