Locomotive Ruby on Rails Distro for MacOSX
2005 October 31
I just grabbed the Locomotive distro of Ruby on Rails for MacOSX – what a nice package! Includes the latest build of Rails, a fresh copy of Ruby, all of the database connectors, RMagick and ImageMagick, some AJAX libraries, and a bunch of other stuff to play with. Best part is – it’s all self-contained in the Locomotive application, so it won’t affect any of the other bits installed on my system.
Looks like the best Rails development system so far – no idea if it translates to a server very easily though.
I’m going to try to force myself to play with Rails for at least a couple of hours every week to see what I can get it to do. This is a good headstart for that…

It’s definitely a superb package for getting started with Rails. In fact, I do all my development with it now. Deployment is as painless as any other rails app. You only deploy your app, not the Locomotive bundles, etc.
