Thanks to Robby on Rails installing Ruby on Rails on my iMac was a piece of cake!

  • Download and install Xcode
  • Download and install DarwinPorts
  • Start up the Terminal
  • Modify the default bash profile with TextMate: sudo mate /etc/profile
  • Add /opt/local/bin to the PATH: PATH="/bin:/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
  • Install Ruby with DarwinPorts with: sudo port install ruby rb-rubygems
  • Install Ruby on Rails and all its dependencies with: sudo gem install -y rails
