OS X 10.10 Guide

Here's what I did to get things working.

1. Install Xcode 6

Yep, over at: https://developer.apple.com

2. Install the Command Line Tools (CLT)

http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/command_line_tools_os_x_10.10_for_xcode__june_2014/command_line_tools_for_osx_10_10_june_2014.dmg (thanks @thomaslindstrom)

3. Install Homebrew

Copy/pasted from the site:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

4. Update the brew Script

Open up /usr/local/bin/brew with your favorite editor.

I had to comment out the brew system detection, so that the last 6-7 lines looked like this:

#BREW_SYSTEM=$(uname -s | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]")
#if [ "$BREW_SYSTEM" = "darwin" ]
#then
#    exec "$BREW_LIBRARY_DIRECTORY/brew.rb" "$@"
#else
    exec ruby -W0 "$BREW_LIBRARY_DIRECTORY/brew.rb" "$@"
#fi

5. Point Ruby 1.8 at Ruby 2.0

It looks like Homebrew somehow depends on Ruby being in Versions/1.8 (though even Mavericks ships with 2.0). Until Homebrew addresses this, we'll symlink our system version of Ruby to the one Homebrew looks for.

Create the folder:

sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin

Then symlink the binary:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby

6. Hack away!

My subsequent brew install commands seemed to work fine (ruby-build, redis, etc...). Along with rbenv, etc.

You'll probably need to install Bundler with gem install bundler if you haven't already.

Improve this Gist!

Leave a comment if something didn't work.

People looking for the CLT outside of the developer program can find it here:
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/10291112/X_Code_6_Beta_with_Command_Line_Tools_for_OS_X_10.10_Yosemite

Make sure to disable the Xcode.dmg from the torrent if you already have it to avoid having to wait too long for your download.

If anyone is using zsh and having issues with git, the people on SO were awesome here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24022582/osx-10-10-yosemite-beta-on-git-pull-git-sh-setup-no-such-file-or-directory

the solution was to append the following to your zshrc: [[ $(env | grep -c PATH) < 2 ]] || /usr/bin/login -f $USER

I know this doesn't apply to everyone, but zsh + git is a pretty popular combination :). It also fixes warnings that pop up with $ brew doctor regarding the path variable which was driving me crazy

For Point 5. Point Ruby 1.8 at Ruby 2.0

Why not just modify brew.rb to change 1.8 to 2.0 ?

head -1 /usr/local/Library/brew.rb 

#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby -W0

#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/bin/ruby -W0

caius commented Jun 5, 2014

Instead of installing the CLT I instead installed Xcode 6 and changed it to be the active developer tools install with:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/

And then I could use git, etc without having to install anything else.

caius commented Jun 5, 2014

And it looks like Homebrew/legacy-homebrew@1bbcc4b means no need for step 5 to make ruby 1.8 appear to be available for ruby - homebrew now just uses ruby 2 in the system instead.

After starting with a fresh install of OS 10.10, download Xcode6-beta and the new command line tools and then doing a fresh install of homebrew using the above curl link, I still cannot run brew doctor. I took it a step further to follow the steps above and still brew doctor hangs. for the most part, it looks as though everything else with homebrew is working?

Not sure what exactly is causing this.

I keep getting this error: /usr/local/Cellar/rbenv/0.4.0/libexec/rbenv-hooks: line 32: cd: ../../../Cellar/rbenv-gem-rehash/1.0.0/etc/rbenv.d/exec: No such file or directory whenever I try to run something like ruby -v. It only occurs when I have if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi in my .bash_profile. I installed with the instructions above and cannot figure this out! Any help is appreciated. Edit: I fixed this issue by doing brew install rbenv-gem-rehash.
