These are the steps I took to setup a heliotrope development environment on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) running OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11.6) in August of 2016.
This guide assumes you have Admin privileges on your MacBook Pro and no development tools installed. For detail instructions on how to setup each individual tool I'll refer you to Sourabh Bajaj who wrote an excellent open source book Mac OS X Setup Guide that gives step by step instructions on setting up a developer environment on Mac OS.
Disclaimer: There are more ways than one to skin a cat, so are there more ways than one to setup your development environment? I have no interest in promoting one tool over another these are simply the tools I chose and the steps I took. Feel free to substitute equivalent tools of your choice as you deem necessary.
- Jun 16, 2019 R 3.6.0 binary for OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and higher, signed package. Contains R 3.6.0 framework, R.app GUI 1.70 in 64-bit for Intel Macs, Tcl/Tk 8.6.6 X11 libraries and Texinfo 5.2. The latter two components are optional and can be ommitted when choosing “custom install”, they are only needed if you want to use the tcltk R package.
- I want to start writing scripts to automate common use cases in OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I'd like to work with ruby but I'd be willing to learn any high level language to do it with the exception of.
May 12, 2020 Update It would appear that the latest version of Xcode has removed the macOSSDKheadersformacOS10.14.pkg file. I am currently searching for alternative solutions. While trying to compile PHP extensions after installing macOS Mojave, I was butting up against a ton of missing header file erro Read More / Comment ».
Note: You could install Homebrew (or MacPorts) first and then use it to install everything else to manage multiple versions of all your tools!
I already had Xcode installed but in the past I've installed from the App Store. Sourabh installs Xcode from the command line then immediately installs the Xcode command line tools.
When I attempted to use Git for the first time from the command line I was walked through installing the Xcode command line tools which includes Git. Sourabh uses Homebrew to install Git.
To install Homebrew I just cut and pasted the command as per instructions on the website. Sourabh seems to have done the same thing.
The first thing I did was install jenv using Homebrew which is a lot like rbenv. Once jenv was installed I used the
$ jenv add
command to get the latest version of Java from Oracle. Sourabh directly installs Java from Oracle.
The first thing I did was install rbenv using Homebrew.
Then I installed a version of ruby using rbenv.
After making the newly installed ruby my active ruby I installed the bundler gem.
Sourabh installs a few other things as well, including rails.
I followed the instructions in the Heliotrope README.md which failed on the bundle install step.I then manually translated the steps inside of bootstrap.sh, ignoring the cd /vagrant, to the following Homebrew commands:
I attempted a bundle install for a second time and it still failed. After some googling I came across this http://patshaughnessy.net/2011/10/31/dont-be-terrified-of-building-native-extensions and this http://bundler.io/v1.12/man/bundle-config.1.html which I translate to:
(Moses notes: I had a similar issue and solved it with a slightly different incantation due to different Homebrew setup or version. Also, it is worth noting here that ClamAV is an open-source malware detector that contains malware signatures that may cause other antivirus software like SCEP running on your development machine to freak out.)
(conorom notes 20181129: Post upgrade to Mojave on a filesystem that hasn't run heliotrope in a while I needed a workaround to resolve nokogiri and nokogumbo install issues (in addition to reinstalling Homebrew and its packages where problems were encountered (like ImageMagick.. see final edit). Search for 'Unable to find libraries on macOS Mojave' here https://www.nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html#install_with_system_libraries)edit: in fact, the same Apple developer library solution is needed to get ImageMagick back working, otherwise one of our system specs fails, see: https://glucode.com/blog/installing-rmagick-gem-with-imagemagick-and-homebrew-on-macos-10-14-mojave

Setting Up A Database

We're going to install sqlite3 from homebrew because we can't use the built-in version with macOS Sierra without running into some troubles.
Rails ships with sqlite3 as the default database. Chances are you won't want to use it because it's stored as a simple file on disk. You'll probably want something more robust like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
There is a lot of documentation on both, so you can just pick one that seems like you'll be more comfortable with.
If you're new to Ruby on Rails or databases in general, I strongly recommend setting up PostgreSQL.
If you're coming from PHP, you may already be familiar with MySQL.
MySQL
You can install MySQL server and client from Homebrew:
Once this command is finished, it gives you a couple commands to run. Follow the instructions and run them:
By default the mysql user is
root
with no password.
When you're finished, you can skip to the Final Steps.
PostgreSQL

Anaconda Individual Edition contains conda and Anaconda Navigator, as well as Python and hundreds of scientific packages.When you installed Anaconda, you installed all these too. Conda works on your command line interface such as Anaconda Prompt on Windows and terminal on macOS and Linux. Mac os update.

By default the postgresql user is your current OS X username with no password. For example, my OS X user is named
chris
so I can login to postgresql with that username.
