JewelryBox – Avoid the Terminal when installing Ruby on Mac (2297 hits)
By Aqueelah Grant
I recently brought a new Mac Book Pro and will be using it as my primary machine. I had to set up Ruby on it. This included Ruby, Rubygems, and RVM. While Mac 10.5 OSX and higher come with Ruby 1.8.7 pre-installed I wanted a later version.
I also installed the Rails Framework and encountered a problem when I tried to run my first Ruby on Rails App. While searching for help online I ran across this pretty nifty tool “JewelryBox” on Stackoverflow.
JewelryBox helps lessen your use of the Terminal when installing Ruby. So where I performed system updates and installations for Ruby, Rubygems and RVM, JewelryBox would have installed and managed them all for me. Jewelry Box also provides me with the different versions and all I would have had to do was click once to install the desired version of each.
