Ruby Development on the Mac

Moving in a new direction, I’ve taken up a position as a Rails developer and am documenting the setup process on OS X as the tutorials out there once again felt a bit lacking – leaving out some crucial bits.

I’ll be developing on Ubuntu at work (which had a much easier setup), but I like to play around on my iMac at home and thus need to have Rails running on there as well.

Don’t even bother with RVM on OS X – it did just enough damage to have me almost having to reinstall Homebrew.

OK, let’s get started.
