Long story short
The following are steps we take at Hashrocket when setting up a near perfect Ruby development environment in OS X (Snow Leopard). Feel free to copy and paste the commands into your terminal.
A Word of Caution
While it is unlikely any instruction given below might damage your system, it’s always a good idea to backup everything before doing any of it, just in case. I am not responsible for anything that may result from following the instructions below. Proceed at your own risk.
Prerequisite OS X Apps:
- Chrome (+ vimium, make default?)
- Firefox (+ firebug)
- Fluid.app
- Gitx
- Macvim (move mvim to /usr/local/bin)
- SizeUp
- Teleport
- xCode
