How do I install Rails on OSX Mavericks?

Hi,

I've been to railsinstaller.org in order to install Rails but in the site it says

"Please do not run the installer on OSX Mavericks until further notice."

I updated my mac to Mavericks (version 10.9)

Any ideas on how I can install Rails?

Many thanks, Alex

There is a Treehouse lesson as well that you can take that shows how to install Ruby on Rails environment. That's what I used.

Hi Randy, thanks

Did you install on Mavericks though (version 10.9). I checked the Treehouse tutorial but its suggestion - railsinstaller.org - seems to have issues with version10.9

Many thanks!

Alex Pomery - I believe Randy Wang is referring to new course installing a ruby development environment using the Treehouse VM.
