That’s all you need.įor the less fortunate – I assume you already have MAMP Pro, and have tried running gem install mysql2 without any success. If you don’t already have MAMP or MAMP PRO on your system, and you don’t have any intention of using PHP, stop reading this article.
#Mamp and mamp pro how to
How to install Ruby on Rails 3.2.1 with Ruby 1.9.3 and MAMP PRO 2.0.1įirst of all. It turns out, installing MAMP Pro and Ruby On Rails, and setting them up is super-duper-easy. In the end, I wish in all the hours I spent on Google, that I found a blog post like this one. I found some useful posts, or at least at that moment I thought so, about MAMP And Ruby:, and, but all I did was screw up my system. Not only that, but it is missing files, so I can’t compile Ruby gems to install with MAMP. At first, I thought – hey – wouldn’t it be nice to run Rails with the same MySQL server as MAMP, but hey – MAMP has moved MySQL installation to their local directory. But that is not what this story is about. and probably because of that I’ve managed to overlook all the bugs (for example not being able to reboot/shutdown my mac, until I’ve force quitted MAMP), but this day changed my perspective a little bit. I love the nice graphical interface I get to manage my local domain hosts (v/), etc. I develop with PHP a lot, and MAMP Pro has worked for me flawlessly up until now. Finally, today I decided not to give up and finish setting up Rails.
#Mamp and mamp pro mac os x
Found tons of interesting stuff, watched a lot of screencasts, graduated from Rails for Zombies, and much more, but now, about a week ago I decided to finally get my hands dirty on my own Mac OS X Lion, and thats where it all started. I’ve been exploring a lot in the world of ruby and rails. So I’ve started learning Rails for a while now. If you’re looking for the how to, and have no intention reading my rambling, go on and scroll down a little bit 🙂
