By the way, it's more difficult to install Ruby 2.0.0 on Mac than on Windows! You run 'brew update'
and it tells you to get Xcode, which you have to get from Apple...

 $ brew update

 [You have to get the latest Xcode from the Apple website]

$ rvm install ruby-2.0.0

 Install of ruby-2.0.0-p247 - #complete
  'rvm_codesign_identity' is not set so RVM can't sign ruby
   Set it in ~/.rvmrc after reading the following about OS X code signing:
   https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/
    #documentation/Security/Conceptual/CodeSigningGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html

$ rvm use 2.0.0-p247

 Using ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247

$ ruby -v

 ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-darwin11.4.2]

$ gem install rails --version 4.0.0 --no-ri --no-rdoc

$ bundle update
