Task #1: Install Rails

If you don't already have it: gem install rails.

Task #2: Download Postgres

Download the Postgres app.

OR: Use Homebrew to install Postgres:

From your terminal, run:

brew update
brew install postgres
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/postgresql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

want to know a little more?

These last 2 lines will set up a special Daemon init file so that your operating system will start postgres automatically whenever you log in.
