1. Install XCode to compile other code
2. Install Ruby
3 Install MySQL

7. Break Apache
8. Find out MySQL 5 "updated" where the libraries are stored and so apache is now pointed to the wrong mysql libraries.
9. After generous web searching find out where the libraries are supposed to be and link them
10. Apache now works as well as Ruby and Rails
11. Time to get my hands dirty after hours of compiling software.... I now instantly remember why .Net is my favorite ecosystem.

Phase Two:
1. Write hello world apps in ruby and PHP...
