Installing Ruby - 2011-03-10 00:00
So I decided to try to learn Ruby (and especially Rails).
The first step is to install it on the Mac. It sounded pretty easy, so I downloaded MacPorts:http://www.macports.org/install.php and then got stuck. Great, first step and I’m already stuck. I couldn’t update sqlite3 because I hadn’t installed it yet. But I couldn’t figure out how to install it. So here is the step I learned: in the terminal, type “sudo port install sqlite3”. And that did it.
But then I got stuck again. I had to install rubygems, which I did by typing:
“sudo port install rb-rubygems”
I then followed the rest of the directions in the book and was able to get Rails up and running!
