Ruby one click installer for mac OSX Tiger

Posted on July 25, 2007

Once upon a time when I still use windows laptop as my workstation, I used to know there is a Ruby One click Installer for Windows. Just notice, another one click installer for mac is born. Visit http://rubyosx.rubyforge.org/ to download.

The good things are this package help to install basic framework to get you started with Ruby on Rails, It done the installation in UNIX way, which installed everything on /usr/local and it replaces the broken Readline library, updates to a current version of SQLite3 and prepares your OSX for Rails, which needs at least Ruby 1.8.4 to run.

After, do not forget to set your environment for /usr/local path.

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH" 

But if you still prefer the Terminal way to install Ruby on Rails framework on OSX, I have fews good links below: (Just stick to these links, you will be fine)

    just one addition to your posting: the ruby one-click installer for osx sets the path for you; that's why it's called a 'one-click installer' ;) regards, matthias
