and even if it were only 5 it would be worthwhile to make it easierSeriously?
1. Install XCode and homebrew
2. sudo brew install {postgresql,rbenv,ruby-build}
3. Close terminal. Open terminal.
4. mkdir proj && cd proj && rbenv install 1.9.2-p290 && rbenv local 1.9.2-p290
5. gem install rails && rbenv rehash
6. rails new foo
Honestly, we can argue if this was 5 steps or 8. We can also argue if 'rbenv rehash' should be necessary (I'm not even sure it really is, wrote that down from top of my head).
But if someone fails on these instructions that fit on a Post-It™ then they should overthink their ambitions towards a programming career.
And if they run into bugs during that procedure then these bugs must be fixed. Because this is (and should be) the canonical way to install a vanilla Rails on OSX.
