Locomotive For Rails

October 20th, 2005

Locomotive is a fast and easy way to get Ruby on Rails up and running quickly on your Mac.  It includes Rails, lighttpd, FastCGI and tons of gems.  There’s even a “max bundle” that includes just about every Ruby oriented thing you can imagine.  So, why am I still using WEBRick?  Because, while Locomotive provides all these things, it does make configuring them quite a pain (just try to configure lighttpd).  If you don’t need to do a lot of strange configuration, download Locomotive and give it a try.
