Uninstall / Remove Ruby on Rails server Macbook Pro

0

Ok, I've looked everywhere for this answer and best I can get is replies like "Why would you ever want to do such a thing". What I want to do is uninstall and completely remove a rails server from my macbook pro. But as usual everything mac and uninstalling stuff is still a little new to me as I've been a hardcore windows user for all these years up until recently. That and I have found since I got my mac I rarely need to uninstall anything. Anyway. I figured I would give rails a go, see if its something I could get into, and its not I favor PHP more, and have truly no need for anything rails related other than trying it for my own sake of trying. Now I want to get rid of it, but I don't know where to begin. How can I do such a thing?

Just delete /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework, /Library/Ruby, and erb, gem, irb, rdoc, ri, ruby, and testrb from /usr/bin.

Warning: OS X expects and sometimes relies on frameworks and software shipped with the system. It would be a very bad idea to remove the system Ruby. It might even get replaced next time you update OS X -- or it might not, but OS X might expect it to be there, and then bad things will happen. Remove it at your own risk. I am providing this answer because you asked, but I would not recommend removing a system framework.

will that remove any/all dependancies of rails as well? – chris – 2012-03-01T00:06:39.250

No it just removes the core rail pieces – xXPhenom22Xx – 2012-03-01T00:07:09.087

1No worries, just keep in mind there may be packages down the road that rely on some of those components, reinstalling is pretty easy if you decide to leave PHP for Rails =) – xXPhenom22Xx – 2012-03-01T00:12:55.733
