Getting Edge Rails up and running on a fresh Leopard install

I just bought Leopard and performed a clean install on my MacBook, here are the steps to get an Edge Rails app up and running:

Install Leopard
Install Developer Tools

Was getting a 404 on the gem update to start with

sudo gem update –system
sudo gem update
sudo gem install rails

Now gem update works and we’re at Rails 2.0.2

rails edgy

cd edgy

rake rails:freeze:edge

[you'll want to use piston or svn externals once you get this checked into an SVN repositor]

script/generate scaffold Food name:string description:text

rake db:migrate

script/server &

open http://localhost:3000
