Setup MacOS 10.10 Yosemite Discussion

When I try to install Homebrew, I get:

csu:~$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Home..."
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libgmp.10.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/christophersu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.1/bin/ruby
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
csu:~$

Been struggling to update to Ruby 2.1.2 all day after updating to Yosemite. This worked!! THANKS SO MUCH!!

A comment is error:

# Then to load mysql now:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

Shoulde be "postgresql", not "mysql"

in "brew install rbenv ruby-build" you can add rbenv-gem-rehash and never rehash again :) this is shown in railsgirls but still have to ask Chris if it is any good

After yosmite posters has stopped working

/Users/jitendravyas/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/activerecord-4.1.6/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:888:in `initialize': could not connect to server: No such file or directory (PG::Error)

Is the server running locally and accepting

connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Would now be a good time to upgrade to Yosemite if we already have Rails 4 installed on Mavericks?

Worked a treat for a newbie thanks

I am following this guide strictly to install ROR on OS X Yosemite. I have installed ROR successfully but stucked on Configuring GIT. Got error, please help me to go further. Here is the error GIST - https://gist.github.com/tec...

Worked great. Thanks!

There is one step missing in the "Configuring Git" section.
After adding the key at Github and before testing:

# start the ssh-agent in the background
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
# Agent pid 59566
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

as described in https://help.github.com/art...

How can i install Rails 4 on Mac OS version 10.7.5

For OS X Yosemite, you may need to remove ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build before 'rbenv install 2.1.5'. See: https://github.com/sstephen...

Great tutorial - thanks.

'gem install rails' took so long I thought it was broken. 'gem install rails -V' is useful as it shows what it's doing. Also, I ended up having to use 'sudo gem install rails -V', but that could just me my setup.

i keep on getting the error "open cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub failed: No such file or directory.

Saving the key failed: cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub." during the "configuring Git" part of the article. I don't know what to do. :(

I feel like I'm missing out on something, did I ever make that directory? Was I supposed to? How was I supposed to? I don't think I missed any steps.

Great stuff... Even managed after 12 beers

Hello, Sorry. Place for expert but I am a beginner...
I did the installation of Ruby and Rails but it was a mistake. Please could you tell me how to remove it ? I have no idea... I can not remove anything from my $username.
In advance, many thanks.

Hello,
"gem install rails" didn't work without "sudo". When running "$sudo gem install rails", it prompts error message:

How to completely uninstall Rails all Rails gems from OS so i could start from
zero? sudo gem uninstall rails does not work. I will appreciate any help.

Thank you so much, I really appreciated the guided tour. I'm fairly new working with the backend side of development but your step-by-step got me thru. Cheers!

"Choose the version of Ruby you want to install" Eh hem. Rails*

Choose the version of "Ruby" you want to install:
I have no experience in Ruby and i can even see something wrong there.

please can someone advise me on how to update your config/database.yml file to match the database username and password. I'm really new at this. Thank you

-----
The file "/usr/include/iconv.h" is missing in your build environment,
which means you haven't installed Xcode Command Line Tools properly.

To install Command Line Tools, try running `xcode-select --install` on
terminal and follow the instructions. If it fails, open Xcode.app,
select from the menu "Xcode" - "Open Developer Tool" - "More Developer
Tools" to open the developer site, download the installer for your OS
version and run it.

Tried both these methods and when I ran the command-line install method I get this:

xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

Very Good! Thanks

Thanks for the great tutorial. Everything worked perfectly. Thumbs up!

Hi,
Could anyone help me out?

I'm getting the following error while installing Rails.

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)

Permission denied - /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/i18n-0.7.0.gem

I got this error while installing rails...

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied - /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/i18n-0.7.0.gem

Can anybody help me out, please? I'm new to this.
Thanks!

Everything works great until I get to the rails portion where I get 'extconf failed, exit code 1'

Any advice? Everything I searched for hasn't helped yet.

Is it normal to have Ruby version different to RubyGems version? Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

Hi, i truly enjoyed the post. Very helpful. Now I have with the installation i get this error

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) . I have a question can a previous installation of MySQL server and Apache server cause conflict with the installation with Ruby on Rails? If not how to solve this problem.

I'm having a problem in installing ruby:

1) First I did $ rbenv install 2.2.2, it gave error.

2) Then I did $ sudo rbenv install 2.2.2, it returned:
Installed ruby-2.2.2 to /Users/mavericks/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2

3) Then I did the other one, $ rbenv global 2.2.2, returned “permission denied”. So I did with sudo and it returned no errors.

But now when I do $ ruby -v it returns ruby 1.9.3p547 (2014-05-14 revision 45962) [x86_64-darwin13.2.0]

And when I do $ rbenv versions it returns:
system
* 2.2.2 (set by /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/.ruby-version)

So, it seems that I have 2.2.2 installed but I doesn't run it when I try to through rbenv.
Anybody can help me?

I get this error message during the rails installation step, after pasting the command "gem install rails -v 4.2.1" in terminal:

Error installing rails:

invalid gem: package is corrupt, exception while verifying: undefined method `size' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) in /Users/avinash/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/cache/activesupport-4.2.1.gem

Help appreciated.

Edit - After a little perseverance all is now working as you have explained, amazing how one little deviation from the original instructions can cause issues, thanks for the guide Chris!

When I type "launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist" I have an error: "/Users/admin/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist: Not a directory". Thanks for help

Actually I had Git configured before following these steps itself. So, just to test the working, i tried,

ssh -T git@github.com

But, the output was, "Permission denied (publickey)"

So, tried configured again exactly as per the steps above and the result didn't change.
But, I have been using GitHub without any problem before on my mac.
Does this output affect my use of Ruby on Rails?
Please help. :)
Thanks In Advance.

Help!? don't know how to fix this, I run this command:
gem install rails -v 4.2.1

Hey everyone,

Bit of help needed:

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory

How do i fix?

When i say rails new App, it gives sortof an error saying Install missing gem with bundle install. how exactly do i fix this problem ?

Do i do run the command bundle install ?

Thanks in advance.

i am using ZSH instead of BASH. Will the above still work? i see a lot of commands have bash in them.

I am getting the following error when i try to install PostregSQL and try and access it

➜ ~ psql
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Trying to install Ruby but i am getting the following and it is not setting the default one.

This is precisely quality....follow keenly guys

Removed because the author helped me fix using twitter, this is a top notch service lol :)

I keep getting a bunch of errors and I think it's because I used Sudo, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I followed this, but I'm getting the error about permission denied for postgres.

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)

You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory.

Which I saw in other comments could be because I didn't write the one part correctly and it's using the system ruby, but I redid it multiple times to make sure it was correct (deleting the previous ones to make sure there were no issues).

I deleted everything out of my .bash_profile and redid it and I made sure it was exactly as typed but I'm getting this error sometimes: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `source'

When I type in "rbenv global" I get 2.2.2 but when I type in ruby -v I get 2.0.0 because it's using the system ruby even after restarting the terminal.

I saw the one comment about typing in: ls -ls ~/.rbenv | tail -n +2 | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 5 to see who owns rbenv and I get "staff" printed out a bunch (which is obviously a problem because that is not my username)

Any ideas how I can fix this botched install for a Mac newbie? Thank you!

I Installed Rails With No Problem, But Now It Disappears. Why?

I followed the guidance carefully and I successfully installed: Homebrew, Ruby, Git, Rails, and Setting Up Database.

I tried them by creating some testing apps with no problem, I went to bed, and left my computer on for downloading Xcode.

But the next morning, when wanted to practice using them, I found rails is no longer in my computer. Here is what it says:

ings-Mac:~ ing$ ruby -v

ruby 2.0.0p645 (2015-04-13 revision 50299) [universal.x86_64-darwin15]

ings-Mac:~ ing$ rails -v

Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type:

$ sudo gem install rails

NOTE:

I made another installation of rails with:

$ sudo gem install rails (with no problem)

It installed Rails 4.2.5.

I made some testing with and without mysql. It DONE WELL.

Will rails disappear again? Let see...

Oh yeh, there are similar problems in Stackoverflow...

thanks for this! New computer, quickest I've ever set up!

On running the command rake db:create getting following message.

Any suggestions?

I am getting some conflict error

`sudo brew upgrade --HEAD ruby-build`

Turns out I already had an outdated version, so I had to upgrade in order to make anything work. As the upgrade has no downside, I suggest adding it to the article just to ensure that the person is running the most recent version.

Awesome tutorial....thanks

Hello, I know this post is extremely old but I just attempted to download the packages. I ran into trouble with the git conversion and the PostreSQL install. Please advise

best article on the net for this!!! Thank you Railsgirls...

I tried installing Ruby on Rails through Railsbridge Installfest, got very stuck and found this site instead. I was able to view my new website, however in order to do so I had to overwrite a bunch of stuff: .gitignore, Gemfile, bin/rails, bin/rake, config/secrets.yml, config/database.yml. I'm very new to this and have no real clue what I've done and fear that in the future rails won't work and that it will have something to do with this.

What did I do? Is this good or bad? Thank you!

I got this error all the time:

ERROR: Error installing rails:
