Chapter 2.2 Installing Ruby on Mac OS X

To install Ruby on Mac OS X, follow these steps:

1. If you’re using Jaguar (10.2) or later versions, type the following on the terminal:

ruby -v

If you have a 1.8 version installed, then you may proceed. If not, you need to install a new one.

Please also note that Mac OS X Leopard fully supports Ruby 1.8.6.

2. If you wish to install a newer version, access the Ruby website.

3. Select One-click Installer for Mac OS X under Ruby On OS X.
