rails setup for mac 10.8

you must have install xcode and xcode commnand line tool

then hombrew The best package management system on Mac OS X for this

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"

then we need to install git (i know you have :P )

$ brew install git

then we need to rvm (ruby version menager)

$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

add this line in your .bash_proflie or .bashrc file

echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"'

reload it

. ~/.bash_profile

now we intall ruby 1.9.3

$ rvm install 1.9.3

$ rvm use 1.9.3

now we install rails with specifying version

$ gem install rails -v 3.2.14

check your rails version

$ rails -v

rails install sqlite databage so you don't need to install databage :)
happy coding :)
