macOS Sierra installation for Rails development

  • Update software

  • Disable automatically spelling correction: System Preferences -> Keyboard -> "Text" tab -> uncheck "Correct spelling automatically"

  • Show keychain icon in status bar: in the preferences of 'Keychain Access' application check 'Show keychain status in menu bar'

  • Install Xcode Command Line Tools:

      xcode-select --install

  • Install Homebrew:

      /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

  • Install Git (you already have Git installed with Xcode Command Line Tools but we need newer version) and configure it:

      brew install git
  # restart session
  git config --global user.name "George Clooney"
  git config --global user.email [email protected]
  git config --global alias.co checkout
  git config --global alias.br branch
  git config --global alias.ci commit
  git config --global alias.st status
  git config --global color.ui true

    Several files will be added in directory /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d. They will be usefull later, when tuning '.bash_profile'.

  • Install ImageMagick for image processing and FFmpeg for video processing:

      brew install imagemagick
  brew install ffmpeg

  • Install PostgreSQL DBMS, using Postgres.app. Do not forget to make all the installation process described on website. Configuring $PATH is important for correct 'pg' gem work:

      sudo mkdir -p /etc/paths.d && echo /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin | sudo tee /etc/paths.d/postgresapp

  • Install GPG:

      brew install gpg
  command curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -

  • Install RVM:

      \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

  • Configure gem environment to avoid downloading documentation during install:

      echo "gem: --no-document" >> ~/.gemrc

  • Add to ~/.bash_profile:

      # Git terminal extentions
  source /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/git-completion.bash
  source /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt.sh

  # Add RVM to PATH for scripting. Make sure this is the last PATH variable change.
  export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin"
  # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
  [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

  # Terminal prompt (with RVM and Git additionals)
  export PS1='$(~/.rvm/bin/rvm-prompt v p g) \u:\w$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")\$ '


  ## Aliases

  alias rubyserver='ruby -run -e httpd . -p 9090'
  alias lastmodifiedfiles='find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat -f "%m %Sm %N" -t "%Y.%m.%d %H:%M" | sort -rn | head -3'

  # rails aliases

  alias bereset='bundle exec rake db:drop db:create db:migrate db:seed && bundle exec rails server'
  alias bers='bundle exec rails'
  alias bespec='bundle exec rspec spec'

  • Setup SSH:

      $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"

    Add new ssh public key to Github, Beanstalk, Bitbucket and other services.
