cider = apple + homebrew + chef + rvm

UPDATE: Cider apparently infringed on someone’s trademark so the project has been renamed to cinderella. Read this post accordingly.

Dev Ops proponent Corey Donohoe has brewed up a strong Apple development environment based on rvm, homebrew, and chef. If you have XCode installed, running a simple bootstrap script will load up your ~/Developer folder and give you:

• mysql
• postgres
• mongodb running as your user
• rvm with rubinius and ruby 1.8.7-p249
• node.js development environment

To get started, run the bootstrap script:

curl http://github.com/atmos/cider/raw/master/bootstrap.sh -o - | sh

… and then the cider executable:

    $ cider
