I started working on a new computer and it didn’t have any of the pre-requisites to work with Octopress installed, it took me a good amount of time to get everything up an ready. In this post I explain how to get Octopress up an running on OS X Yosemite.
##Installing Ruby I was not able to install Ruby at first because Homebrew was not installing and required a separate installation. The symptoms were:
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/10.10/x86_64/ruby-2.2.0.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for osx.
About to install Homebrew, press `Enter` for default installation in `/usr/local`,
type new path if you wish custom Homebrew installation (the path needs to be writable for user)
: Requirements installation failed with status: 1.What gave me a more clear indication that something was missing was when I attempted to install Homebrew by itself
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
ruby: no code specified for -e (RuntimeError)With more digging around, I found this post at StackOverflow where basically explained it was because I never executed Xcode on this machine before, so I had to manually open it one time which kicked off the installation of additional components. Onces that finished I was able to install Homebrew and I executed brew doctor
brew doctorAfter that I hit another roadblock during the installation of Ruby 1.9.3
rvm install ruby 1.9.3-p551
...
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/Users/jz/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p551':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
There has been an error while running configure. Halting the installation.Found the issue again and basically I needed to install more xcode dependencies. I did it by executing
xcode-select --installAfter all of that I decided to upgrade the Ruby version used by Octopress to version 2.2.0. To do that I edit the version of ruby in the following files:
.rbenv-version
.ruby-version
Gemfile
Last I got a warning about htmltags in liquid that basically can be solved by upgrading liquid to version. 2.6.2. I changed the version in the Gemfile.lock and Gemfile and executed
bundle install
