Your Computer (OSX)

Blueprint is supported on Mac OS X 10.4 or higher.

To begin with, you need to download and install Rubystack. Rubystack is a package of all the bits and pieces you need to install to create a developer environment suitable for running Blueprint. (Before the existence of Rubystack, this page was considerably longer).

When you run the Rubystack installer, choose 'developer' and accept all the defaults during install. Make sure you remember the password you set here, as you'll need it during the Blueprint installation procedure, and set 'dummy' as the database prefix.

[note here about stopping dummy rails app]

The default location for installing Rubystack is at Applications/Rubystack-version. You need to cd into this directory and start the Rubystack environment by typing ./rubyconsole. You need to install an additional gem that Blueprint requires, so type sudo gem install bluecloth and enter you password if requested.

When it's installed, cd into `rubystack-version/projects' and grab the latest copy of Blueprint:

svn co http://svn.dockyardapp.com/core/trunk blueprint && cd blueprint

You'll probably asked for a password. Hit Enter, then give the username and password provided by Inventive Labs for accessing the Blueprint repository.

Now go configure Blueprint.
