Installing Rails on OSX Mavericks
Install homebrew. You should be prompted to install the Xcode Command Line Tools.
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
Make sure it is setup appropriately:
$ brew doctor
You should see: Your system is ready to brew.
.
Setup rbenv and Ruby 2.0.0:
$ brew install rbenv
$ brew install ruby-build
$ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
ZSH users use ~/.zshrc
.
Install bundler and rails:
$ gem install bundler
$ gem install rails
$ rbenv rehash
You should now be good to go!

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl
