Git

Dev environment

• (Includes precompiled Apache, PHP, Ruby, and all necessary libraries and extensions)
• Download au_dev_environment.dmg from nimbus and open the image file.
• Copy [dev image]/opt and [dev image]/www to /
• Copy mysql-5.0.67-osx10.5-x86 to /usr/local
• Run the following commands to set up mysql:

cd /usr/local
sudo ln -s mysql-5.0.67-osx10.5-x86 mysql
sudo chown -R _mysql /usr/local/mysql/data

MacPorts

• To install new ports it is necessary to install from http://www.macports.org/install.php. Ports installed with existing dev environment should work fine.
• Do this after existing dev environment has been installed.

Oddities

• If vim is acting strangely, remove the MacPorts version--the built-in OS X version works much better. Do so by running

port uninstall vim
