"getting up and running with Ruby on Rails on a Mac takes a metric fuck ton of ass raping"

If by that colorful phrase you mean, "gem install rails". I'm pretty sure we ship a Rails product, and I'm pretty sure that we only issue people Macbooks running OSX, and I'm pretty sure he's wrong about that.

It's not that simple. You have to prepend that command with "sudo" and then, immediately after pressing enter, you have to type your password.
