Problems I’ve run into so far:
- `Brewfile` is broken ([Brewfile is out-of-date?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/brewfile-is-out-of-date/81858))
- `apple-gcc42` doesn’t work past Mavericks
- It forces an installation and use of ruby 2.0.0, but rails requires version \>= 2.2.2 (this is in the output: `ERROR: Error installing rails: activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.2.2.`)
- It requires `bundle` to be installed but doesn’t install it (or mention it in the documentation)
I was following instructions here: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/DEVELOPMENT-OSX-NATIVE.md](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/DEVELOPMENT-OSX-NATIVE.md)
And as a side note, I still haven’t managed to install discourse.

I think @j.jaffeux looked at this recently?

Hi @shoshber I will update the guide in the future. No ETA yet.

Sorry it has take us so long, most of us are simply not using the quick setup so I have removed it.
I think it is kind of fair to require a “long setup” from people on osx cause so much personal taste is at play.
For ultra quick setups we have:
> [@Install Discourse for development using Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009):
>
> Developing using Docker Since Discourse runs in Docker, you should be able to run Discourse directly from your source directory using a Discourse development container. white_check_mark Pros: No need to install any system dependencies, no configuration needed at all for setting up a development environment quickly. x Cons: Will be slightly slower than the native dev environment on Ubuntu, and much slower than a native install on MacOS.
