RVM, Ruby and Rails on OSX

  1. Download and install Xcode from the App Store.

  2. Download and install command line tools on Xcode. On the menu go to Preferences > Downloads > Install Command Line Tools

  3. Install homebrew like so:

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

  4. Install git with:

     brew install git

  5. Install rvm with:

     curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --auto

  6. Open a new terminal window and verify if rvm was installed properly. Do:

     rvm requirements

    and it should give you a wall of text starting with `Requirements for osx...

  7. There are still a couple more dependencies needed listed after doing rvm requirements. Install them by doing:

     brew update
 brew tap homebrew/dupes
 brew install bash curl autoconf automake apple-gcc42 libtool pkg-config openssl readline libyaml sqlite libxml2 libxslt libksba`

  8. Install ruby.

     rvm install 1.9.3-p392

    Installing other rubies are easy. You can list them all by doing rvm list known.

  9. Install Rails.

     gem install rails

And that's it! Easy as pie.
