I had a different funky experience. I at first struggled, then paid attention to what I was doing, and then got it set up and running quite smoothly.

Path A: Warts and Brew: * Mac OSX 10.9 * latest homebrew

    1. brew install npm && brew install node.js
    2. gem install bourbon && gem install sass
    3. Then: Do the Installation / Setup instructions here: 
https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.m...

... because: you have to install some ruby templates and such .. please note that you should also have done 'gem instal sass' step above, before you do step #3 ..

I found it works quite well if you get through that setup. I'm impressed enough to have been using it as an app for the last day or so .. its got a nice interface. I'd love to have time to hack up more templates.

Plan B: The easy route: vagrant Well, another great use for vagrant. Works very smoothly as well: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-Vagrant



It uses a similar build process to what you and I are already used to, so in a way it is indeed easy. Despite that the git version is not something the average user should use.

The download link seems to have been fixed so I'll take a look at the packaged version. I reckon it requires nothing more than unpacking and installing the dependencies.

Of course there are installers as well which probably require no user input at all.


Does Homebrew work on 10.9? Have you seen any problems?


Haven't found any issues, this is a brand new MBP though, fresh install as of about two weeks ago, and no hiccups so far..
