Set up on mac

[gsambrotta]

Since I can't really contribute on Github yet I will open a issue about the step I'm doing to install it on mac.

Mac installation with postgres.app

Requirement:

• Xcode
• homebrew

in case you need one:
• brew update
Than run:
• brew install postgresql
and finally:
gem install pg

Now you should be able to run:
bundle
rails s

Did you do "gem install pg" or finally did you
gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/pg_config

to use postgress.app in Mac ?

I did just "gem install pg" but change the directory path is something that you definitively need to do if you are using Mac and postgress.app
I already did it for another project so maybe is the reason why I didn't need it again on my Mac.

Anyway as the postgres.app documentation say:

Go ahead and add the /bin directory that ships with Postgres.app to your PATH (preferably in .profile, .bashrc, .zshrc, or the like to make sure this gets set for every Terminal session):

PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH"

Once your path is correctly set up, you should be able to run psql without a host.

I would say you need to run this before "gem install pg"
