+Please note: 
+
+MacPorts packages some outdated versions of Rails like
+  * `rb-rails @2.3.5`
+  * `rb19-rails @3.0.5`
+In ideal world the packaging of these modules would be better and more up-to-date, so that installing Ruby on Rails would be as straightforward as
+{{{
+port install rb22-rails4.2
+}}}
+but until then you need to use other tools with a wider base of maintainers.
+
+= Installation = #install
+
+These instructions are based on https://gorails.com/setup/osx/10.10-yosemite, but skipping the part that explains how to install another package manager.
+
+== Installing rbenv and ruby-build ==
+
+You first need to install the necessary tools:
+{{{
+port install rbenv ruby-build
+}}}
+
+== Adding rbenv to ~/.bash_profile (optional) ==
+
+If you want to enable `rbenv` by default, you can add `eval "$(rbenv init -)"` to `~/.bash_profile`:
+{{{
+# Add rbenv to bash so that it loads every time you open a terminal
+echo 'if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi' >> ~/.bash_profile
+source ~/.bash_profile
+}}}
+
+Please note that this will hide the ruby as installed by MacPorts using `port select ruby ...`. If you want to switch back to that version of ruby, you should comment out that line in `~/.bash_profile` again.
+
+== Installing Ruby ==
+
+{{{
+rbenv install 2.2.3
+rbenv global 2.2.3
+ruby -v
+}}}
+
+== Installing Rails ==
+
+{{{
+gem install rails -v 4.2.4
+}}}
+
+To make sure that `rbenv` knows about the new version of rails you additionally need:
+
+{{{
+rbenv rehash
+}}}
