How to install Cabot on OS X

This manual describes a complete procedure how to install and run Cabot on OS X for development. It was tested on OS X 10.9.1 and Cabot version 2014-01-23.

Important notes

We’re using Homebrew to install the required dependencies on OS X. If you don’t have Homebrew yet (how is that possible? ;), see http://brew.sh/ for an installation script. Note: MacPorts can be probably used too, but we didn’t test it.

Although you can use Python and Ruby that comes with OS X, it’s better to use Python installed via Homebrew and use rbenv to manage Rubies. Then you don’t need to use sudo and mess up your system. If you’re already using rvm instead of rbenv, then stay with it and skip the rbenv installation steps.

# git-mv-with-history -- move/rename file or folder, with history.
#
# Moving a file in git doesn't track history, so the purpose of this
# utility is best explained from the kernel wiki:
#
#   Git has a rename command git mv, but that is just for convenience.
#   The effect is indistinguishable from removing the file and adding another
#   with different name and the same content.
