Installing SproutCore

I would try out the SproutCore that is a JavaScript framework. Also before I tried Ruby on Rails, but after all I did nothing to master it. In this time, I was determined not to come down to that. I’ll try my best ^_^

At first, I tried to install the framework, SproutCore. But it needed RubyGems that OS X doesn’t have it in default environment. Well then, I downloaded rubygems-1.2.0 and ran setup.rb. Uh-oh, The script stopped. What now? .... The installer required Ruby version 1.8.3 later.

After installing Ruby version 1.8.4, I went on install RubyGems 1.2.0. And installing SproutCore was succeed. But when I tried to create a first project of the tutorial, I had an error again.

Could not find RubyGem hoe (>= 1.7.0) (Gem::LoadError)

What? It seemed that the version of gem was not enough to run SproutCore. I guess it’s OK. When a new environment is built, that is the way the cookie crumbles.
