Development environments

Here are the options of development environments:

• Local development in Mac
• Local development in Linux
• Local development in Windows
• Cloud development with Cloud9
• Cloud development with Nitrous.io

In my examples, I would use Cloud9 with SQLite by default. But you should be able to run the example code in your own local development. And with a small tweak, you can run the code with different database engines, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.

InstallRails.com provides detail guide to install Ruby on Rails for Windows, Linux and Mac. The guide also installs SQLite and Git version control tool.
