## MacPorts:
  reference page:     http://www.macports.org/install.php
  download macports:  http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.8.0-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg

## Afte installing macports do this:
  sudo port selfupdate
  sudo port sync

  # if you choose not to do a clean install (i.e. upgrade) do this:
  sudo port uninstall -f installed


## Stuff to install via MacPorts
  # install rb-rubygems only if did a clean install
  sudo port install git +svn mysql5-server memcached ImageMagick ruby rb-mysql  rb-rubygems
  # You should copy paste the launchd command for mysql so that mysql always started on boot


  # I would advice you do the following:
  sudo gem update --system
  sudo gem source -a http://gems.github.com

  # this is only for upgrade (clean install u don't need this)
  # download this script, run it, and follow its instruction (uninstall and reinstall a bunch of gems): http://gist.github.com/178245

## Install the gems you need
  sudo gem install rails rubygems-update rmagick fastercsv mongrel mongrel_cluster mysql rspec rspec-rails webrat cucumber BlueCloth RedCloth
