Tools to set up unix development environment automatically?

Question

I really love programming. But the cumbersome part is to setup the unix development environment.

I use ruby on Ubuntu/Mac os x.

I'm aware there are tools like rvm and vagrant that can help you in the process, but even though I have to set up everything manually in the OS.

Are there tools for setting up a full development environment automatically for me so that I can start coding immediately or are you all doing it manually too?

EDIT: This look interesting: http://www.atmos.org/cider/intro.html. Are there more tools like this?

Answer 1

XCode (to get started on a Mac), compile ruby or get it using RVM and add your editor of choice and you are done. =)

If prefer to use an IDE:

1. NetBeans
2. Eclipse DLTK
3. Aptana Studio2 (for Rails development)
