Tadashi Shigeoka · Sun, September 11, 2011
I’ll introduce the steps to build a Ruby on Rails development environment on macOS with Ruby 1.8.7.
Ruby Installation
Mac comes with Ruby pre-installed by default, so let's just check the version.$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [universal-darwin10.0]
According to the official site, Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 1.9.2 are recommended, so it seems we don’t need to update.
Ruby on Rails Installation
Mac comes with RubyGems by default.
Update RubyGems Itself
sudo gem update --system
Install Rails with gem
sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies
SQLite3 Installation
Rails' DB environment defaults to SQLite3, so we'll install this too.brew install sqlite
Also, install the sqlite driver so Rails can access SQLite.
gem install sqlite3
That’s all from the Gemba.
