Installing Rails on Mac OS X 10.6 (SL)

Question

I\'ve just gone to installed RoR on my snow leopard mac.. and found the rails gem was already installed..

is this normal? Does it need updating?

Does this get in

Answer 1

It is installed with the Snow Leopard developer tools. Version 1.8.7 of Ruby is installed.

You should be fine for most your development needs. If you wish to upgrade just update the gems:

$ sudo gem install rubygems-update

$ sudo update_rubygems

$ sudo gem update

$ sudo gem update --system

$ sudo gem install rails
