A fresh install of Mac OS X to Ruby on Rails, the right way, in a 28 minute screencast.

Many tutorials skip the little steps, causing people to get stuck. This screen-cast starts with a fresh install of Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.8), then goes step by step through the process of setting up a complete development environment for Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

I show you how to setup the following:

• XCode
• TextMate
• iTerm
• DarwinPorts/MacPorts Note: the screencast mentiones DarwinPorts, but it is now MacPorts. This link has been updated
• Ruby
• Ruby Gems
• Ruby on Rails

To write a command-line application in Ruby is very simple, the following two-line application converts everything in the standard input to upper case and then outputs it:

puts STDIN.read.upcase

Although complete, this is hardly a proper application, which should include options, arguments, help, input error trapping, etc. I've created a skeleton for such a command-line application.
