#### Tips for specific circumstances
* Docker: Docker was previously used for development of Houdini.
See [docker.md](docs/docker.md) for more info.

See [mac_getting_started.md](docs/mac_getting_started.md) for more info.

NOTE 2: We use [RVM](https://rvm.io) to have more control over the exact version of Ruby. For development, it's also way easier because you can
use a consistent version of Ruby (and different sets of installed gems) for different projects. You could also use rbenv
or simply build ruby from source.
