What's the best way to install ruby/rails on Mac OS X?

historically i have followed james duncan davidson's article "Sandboxing Rails with Darwin Ports" :   <http://duncandavidson.com/essay/2006/04/portsandbox&gt;

james also offers some commentary on installing via package management vs. by-hand.

the topic in general has been discussed a gazallion times on the (old) list before, it might be wise to search the archives and see what you can scare up.

Just pick one and go with it, I see no reason why you would need to use all 3. In fact you lose the whole advantage of letting a package-mgmt system run dependencie management for you when you start picking and choosing like that.
