3,466 PointsRuby Install
I am trying to install Ruby (& Ruby on Rails) on OSX 10.7.5
I think I botched the whole install. My computer is still functional, but I can't get past the bin/rails server command at the end of the installation video.
I've spent many hours searching for other examples of what I did wrong. I've tried installing and uninstalling git, rbenv, rvm, ruby, etc.
For instance now I always get this error message when I open my terminal, even though I thought I removed all possible rvm files: -bash: /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: No such file or directory
Also, my attempt at updating git did not work the way I thought it would either. When I run "which git" I get: /usr/local/git/bin/git
I'm also pretty sure that I have multiple versions of ruby on my computer at the moment.
Would any coding rockstars be willing to help me resolve this? Maybe the best way would be to try and completely uninstall everything? I have tried doing that with rvm, but am wary with trying that for other applications because if I don't remove everything, then it probably wouldn't work.
I believe some of the problem might lie with the /.bash_profile - but am not completely sure.
At the moment I am going to move forward with the VM via Treehouse, but for any future potential projects that will be inadequate due to memory caps.
Thanks, Alex

42,016 Pointsalright so you have all those installed. try setting the xcode path:
sudo xcode-select -switch /usr/bin
then try running the rails install again
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointshave you looked in your .bash_profile and .bashrc?
nano ~/.bash_profile
nano ~/.bashrc
see if you have anything rvm related in those files. RVM will usually add some stuff in those files, so check to make sure you remove the things it added
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsalright then it may be in /etc/profile then.
according to this stack overflow post you just need to comment out 2 lines in /etc/profile
open up /etc/profile
sudo nano /etc/profile
and comment out (put a # at the start of the line) these two lines:
source /etc/profile.d/sm.sh
source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

3,466 PointsHi Stone,
That did work to resolve the alert when I open the terminal!
alexandermuhr
3,466 PointsWhen I run:
bin/rails server
I get:
-bash: bin/rails: No such file or directory
At the moment then, I am pretty sure that rbenv and rvm are both removed from my system... but git is still installed at:
/usr/local/git/bin/git
Isn't that where the problem lies you think?
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsgit wont affect anything. also if bin is in your path (it probably is) you dont have to type bin/rails. just rails will do the trick
first double check rails is installed:
rails --version
make sure rails is indeed installed first.
alexandermuhr
3,466 PointsHi Stone,
Yes I actually removed everything from ~/.bash_profile - even so this still appears when I open my terminal:
-bash: /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: No such file or directory
alexandermuhr
3,466 PointsSo I checked that and it said I needed to install rails:
Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type:
$ sudo gem install rails
You can then rerun your "rails" command.
I ran the command and got this... any idea why?

Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsyou need to install xcode tools. try running this command first:
xcode-select --install
alexandermuhr
3,466 PointsOK... when I run that I get:
Usage: xcode-select -print-path
or: xcode-select -switch <xcode_folder_path>
or: xcode-select -version
Arguments:
-print-path Prints the path of the current Xcode folder
-switch <xcode_folder_path> Sets the path for the current Xcode folder
-version Prints xcode-select version information
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsyou may already have them. try this command and see what it says:
xcode-select -p
alexandermuhr
3,466 PointsThe same menu appears as before.
When I run -version:
xcode-select version 2003.
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointswhat does the following command output
gcc --version

42,016 Pointsrun this command and tell me what you get:
xcode-select -print-path
alexandermuhr
3,466 Points/usr/bin
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsstrange. for some reason its doubling up the path:
/usr/bin/usr/bin/xcodebuild
not quite sure why that is happening. do you have the ful Xcode app installed by chance?
alexandermuhr
3,466 PointsI think it's a similar problem to why git is installed where it is......
I don't have the full Xcode app, no.
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsalright type
which xcodebuild
what does that give you
alexandermuhr
3,466 Points/usr/bin/xcodebuild
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsalright, well lets try installing the tools one more time but using sudo
sudo xcode-select --install
see if that works
alexandermuhr
3,466 PointsI don't think it worked.... the same menu as before came up.
I am going to try and work through the Installing Ruby on Mac video again and see if anything changes there.
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointswell before you try that, try redownloading the tools. I definitely think its an issue with your xcode tools. you can download them here
alexandermuhr
3,466 PointsSo that did not work... but did the steps again from the video. When I run rails server in the "testapp" folder I get this (and the localhost:3000 does not load correctly:

Any idea as to what is going on here?
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsalright there is a process using that port currently. you can look up which one is using it and then kill it
lsof -wni tcp:3000
will show you which one is using it.
to kill it use:
kill -9 <PID>
but replace <PID> with the PID of the process that is displayed by the first command
alexandermuhr
3,466 PointsBOOM! it's working.
Thank you so much for the help!!
Do you know maybe why this block was occurring?
crossing my fingers that it will stay functional!
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointsawesome glad its finally working. no not sure why this was happening
