    These are the steps that you have to do:

    1. Install MacPorts from here
    2. From command line, run ‘port install sqlite3 +universal’
    3. From command line, run ‘gem install sqlite3-ruby’
    4. Go to your application folder, ‘rails server’ and voila! you should see your server getting started
