For those planning to update: The new Ruby version distributed in High Sierra (10.13) will not work with existing versions of Lich. It is a known issue. If you want to update your existing OS X to OS X High Sierra there are some important steps you should take.
| Before you update | |
| In terminal window, run the following commands: | |
| brew pin cairo | |
| brew pin pango | |
| brew pin gtk+ | |
| If you do not have RBENV installed | |
| Do that now to save the hassle. If you believe you do have it installed | |
| Skip down to 'already installed section below. | |
| In terminal window: | |
| brew update | |
| brew install rbenv | |
| echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile | |
| Then exit all open terminal windows (important) | |
| Open a new terminal window and continue: | |
| rbenv install 2.2.5 | |
| rbenv global 2.2.5 | |
| rbenv rehash | |
| which ruby | |
| ruby -v | |
| Check the results | |
| Should clearly say /Users/you/.rbenv/shims/ruby | |
| Should clearly say ruby 2.2.5p319 | |
| If it does not, please stop and email doug@play.net | |
| If it does, continue in terminal window: | |
| gem install sqlite3 | |
| gem install gtk2 | |
| At this point, you're ready to update to 10.13 | |
| but you must also do this after you update | |
| Also, If you already have RBENV installed | |
| you will need to take this step after you update | |
| In terminal window (after update): | |
| rbenv global 2.2.5 | |
| Now you're ready to test! |
Please help us as a community - let us know here, or email me, of the results so that we can track and build a bullet-proof scheme for those who follow.
