Installing Ruby on Rails

Install rbenv

rbenv lets us change ruby verions on the fly, useful for working with diffrent versions.

brew update
brew install rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

sudo chown -R $USER ~/.rbenv

Configuring rbenv

brew update

brew install ruby-build

rbenv install 2.5.1
rbenv global 2.5.1

Install Rails

gem update
gem update --system
gem install rails

You may need to press "yes" for various entries

Make sure to restart your terminal and then run each of these commands. Finally call someone over to validate your installation is correct.

rails -v
ruby -v

which ruby
