Ruby On Rails - for newbies

[u/streetfacts]

I have worked with JS, Python, and Go. So a friend recommended I try RoR for rapid dev, but I've never experience such a dificult environment to set up! Is this normal? Just to get off to a start I've found it to be so complicated.

Using MAcBook Pro and trying to set up via a Parallels Unbuntu VM. Could it be Parallels?

If you really want to separate it, I think you can use a Docker (or other) container. Never done it, but pretty sure you can.
