Installation/Mac OS/Mavericks

Note:

This guide still needs to be rewritten for the new installation guides form

These instructions are for Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

Install Homebrew and then come back here.

Run:

xcode-select --install

or go to link below and download command line tools if above does not work:

To install MySQL, run the following:

brew install mysql

Add it to launchctl so it will start automatically:

ln -sfv/usr/local/opt/mysql/*.plist~/Library/LaunchAgents

mysql.server start

Now mysql is running, and you have a user named root with no password.

To install ImageMagick, run the following:

brew install imagemagick --with-freetype --with-fontconfig

Make sure to add freetype and fontconfig switches, as they are needed for image captcha

To install Git, run the following:

brew install git

To install Redis, run the following:

brew install redis

RubyGems comes preinstalled. However, you might need to update it for use with the latest Bundler. To update RubyGems, run

sudo gem update --system

To install Bundler, run the following:

sudo gem install bundler

Congrats! You have all your dependencies installed. Go back to Notes On Installing and Running Diaspora.
