Ruby Build a Simple Ruby on Rails Application Getting Started with Rails Installing Rails (Mac)

Rails installer (Mac OSX 10.9)

Hi,

The webpage from the Rails Installer says the following

"Please do not run the installer on OSX Mavericks until further notice. "

Is there an other way to get everything installed?

Thanks!

Hi James,

I did that video before but it doesn't install rvm and mysql.

Thanks.

Nope. It uses rbenv & sqlite instead for it's Rails install.

So does it mean that I can type rbenv instead of rvm?

You use rbenv global instead rvm use


As noted in the video I linked you to at time index 3:22, Jason installed Ruby version 2.0.0-p353 so to tell rbenv to use that version he typed.

rbenv global 2.0.0-p353

Thanks for helping James! It seems to work fine.
