Equivalent of Instant Rails in Mac

Hi all,

I have written full ERP Accounting application <a href="http:// www.toolerp.com" target="_blank">TooLERP - The Best Small Business ERP Accounting Software</a>. I am using Instant Rails to make it available to windows users. I was wondering if there is an equivalent software on Mac also? I have heard that Mac OS X comes pre installed with Ruby on Rails.

For lower versions (Tiger) you can install Locomotive and start using Rails Apps. Has someone used it? How hard is it ? Please share your expriences.

Regards,

Nick www.toolerp.com <a href="http://www.toolerp.com" target="_blank">TooLERP - The Best Small Business ERP Accounting Software</a>.

Try bitnami ruby stack

You might try the Ruby & Rails Developer Bundle from EnterpriseDB (basically Rails + PostgreSQL stack)

Cheers, Robby

My approach to the same problem for my app (Open Campground) has been to distribute it as a frozen app both in InstantRails and otherwise. When frozen you will not depend on Rails or your gems being installed on the target system. You will just have to have Ruby and the database which simplifies things a lot.

Have not had any installs on Mac OS but it should work there also.
