We recommend Ruby 2.2 or newer for use with Rails. Rails requires Ruby 1.9.3 or newer.
Source: Compile it yourself Windows installer: Ruby, popular extensions, editor OS X 10.5+: Included with developer tools (then do gem update rails)
We recommend managing your Ruby installation through rbenv. It’s an easy way to run multiple versions for different applications and update when a new release is made.
With Ruby installed, you can install all of Rails and its dependencies through RubyGems on the command line:
Ruby On Rails Ide Mac Os X
New versions of Rails can be installed the same way.
This note assumes that Ruby on Rails has already been properly installed and the purpose is to replace the default DB engine SQLite with PostgreSQL. Install PostgreSQL As shown in the official Postgres download instructions here, there are few ways of installing PostgreSQL on Mac OS. Hey, this isn't so bad. Mac OS X 10.4 has ruby and irb (interactive ruby) installed by default, so I was able to just type 'irb' and follow along with the examples. I'm starting to like this 'ruby' thing. Suddenly I don't feel like I'm being dragged across the floor trying to dig my nails into linoleum. No, this dog likes Ruby!
Create your application skeleton and start the server:
You’re running Ruby on Rails! Follow the instructions on http://localhost:3000.
TextMate on OS X has long been the favored Rails editor, but the classic editors are still going strong. See VIM for Rails and Emacs for Rails. For a full-on IDE, check out JetBrains RubyMine.
You’ve decided it’s time to try Ruby. Maybe you’ve already tried Ruby, and now you’re ready to install Ruby on your computer.
If you’re using an operating system other than macOS Sierra 10.12 or macOS High Sierra 10.13, my friend Chris Oliver has an extensive collection of tutorials on how to install Ruby. His tutorials also include how to install Ruby on Rails. If you’re only interested in Ruby, you can stop after “Installing Ruby.”
Ruby version 2.0.0 comes installed on macOS Sierra. However, support for Ruby 2.0.0 ended on February 26, 2016. Also, as you begin to work on more Ruby projects, you’ll need to work with multiple Ruby versions. Luckily, several tools exist to help us install and manage multiple Ruby versions. The one I use and recommend is rbenv.
As a matter of fact, installing rbenv on macOS Sierra is easy thanks to Homebrew.
1. Install Homebrew
Homebrew is the “The missing package manager for macOS.”
To install Homebrew, open up your terminal and run:
2. Install rbenv
After you’ve installed Homebrew, run the following command to install rbenv:
After rbenv is installed, run the following command to finish setting up rbenv:
rbenv init
3. Install Ruby
Finally, the fun part: Installing Ruby. I’d recommend installing version 2.4.2.
Download Ruby On Rails For Windows 10
Once the install completes, tell your computer to use 2.4.2 by default:
rbenv global 2.4.2
4. Go Forth & Build
At this point, you should be ready to start using Ruby. If you run into any issues, I’m on Twitter several times a day. I also highly recommend a quick Google search. There are few things I’ve been unable to solve thanks to the internet.
I’m glad you’re interested in using Ruby. Learning Ruby & Ruby on Rails changed my career in ways unimaginable. I’m excited for you!
