Update Git Mac Catalina

Posted on by

This works for me with the recent update of MacOS to 10.9.5 and also of XCode to Version 6.0.1 (the update that includes iOS8 functionality.) I do all my development work in a standard user account, not in an administrative account. Here are the steps I needed to go through for Mojave: First xcode-select -reset. Next I needed to upgrade xcode tools to the latest version: sudo softwareupdate -ia -verbose (NB: this runs all available updates from the app store, there is a way to specify that you only want to update one app/program, but I don't know it off the top of my head). Download the latest Catalina Installer using the latest Catalina Patcher version. Some third-party applications do not open or crash on launch This is an issue Apple introduced in 10.15.4, and is not an issue with the patch itself.

Setting Up A Database

What Is The Latest Update For Macos Catalina

We're going to install sqlite3 from homebrew because we can't use the built-in version with macOS Sierra without running into some troubles.

Rails ships with sqlite3 as the default database. Chances are you won't want to use it because it's stored as a simple file on disk. You'll probably want something more robust like MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Catalina

There is a lot of documentation on both, so you can just pick one that seems like you'll be more comfortable with.

If you're new to Ruby on Rails or databases in general, I strongly recommend setting up PostgreSQL.

If you're coming from PHP, you may already be familiar with MySQL.
