If you have ruby-1.9.2, good. I used rvm, and did a recent install with

rvm install ruby-1.9.2
rvm --default use 1.9.2

Then to the SproutCore parts:

gem install sproutcore                         [The console output indicated SproutCore 1.6]

cd to your dev area, e.g. .../Development/sproutcore

git clone git@github.com:sproutcore/abbot.git  [cloned abbot into my dev area]

cd to your project dev area, e.g. .../Development/sproutcore/myapp

mkdir frameworks, if you don't already have one

Clone Sproutcore master in your frameworks directory.

cd to project dir, e.g. myapp                  [I have a fresh SC master in frameworks]

vi Gemfile                                     [Edited path to abbot in Gemfile]
sudo gem install bundler
bundle install --binstubs

This should give you a local abbot in your myapp/bin directory, where you can run

./bin/sc-server                                [here (./bin/sc-server), sc-server says 1.7.1beta; sc-server successfully brings up my app; i have SC master in my frameworks]

If you forget, and run

sc-server 

You'll get the 1.6 sc-server that was installed with gem install sproutcore globally.

line 24 should read:

bundle install --binstubs

wo the blank between bin and stubs
