Based on jpantuso's gist: https://gist.github.com/1110217

Install xcode 4

App store http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id448457090?mt=12) The download/install takes awhile so start it first. When it finishes downloading you will still need to run it to complete installation.

iTerm2 http://www.iterm2.com/

Really the nicest choice for a terminal on OSX right now, especially with Lion style full screen support.

Homebrew http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)" Note that Xcode is a pre-req for Homebrew

Install ruby

rvm install 1.9.2 rvm install 1.8.7 rvm notes See if there is anything in the rvm notes you need to take action on. As of this writing the compiler needs to be overridden. Create a .gemrc file and add the line gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc

Git

brew install git

RVM: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/

bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)
