Here is the place. Google around for instructions on installation then provide specifics of issues and I am sure you will get the help you need.

A good set of instructions is Dan Benjamin

You'll already have a version of ruby and rails installed, it's part of the base OS X install these days

No! Unless you're using Ruby 1.9, there is generally no reason to follow Hivelogic's ridiculous suggestion to build your own Ruby on Snow Leopard.

Right. So what's to set up? What errors are you getting?

Best,

I followed this

and set up including curl and Ruby version manager on my mac. Works like a charm. I'd recommend anyone learning Rails to use RVM since it not only helps in testing your code but also leads to better management of rails and ruby versions. I am an edge code freak and upgrade my software frequently and RVM has been great accommodating my needs.

Hell yes. RVM kicks serious ass.
