How to install OS X 10.11.4 'El Capitan' Public Beta
Let's get started, shall we? To install the first Public Beta build of OS X 10.11.4 'El Capitan,' you must to go to the Apple Beta Software Program website, sign in with the Apple ID that you're using right now on your Mac, read all the information posted there about how unstable a Beta release is, and that you need to back up all your files.
Then, enroll your Mac into the Apple Public Beta program for OSX by clicking on the 'enroll your Mac' link in the 'Getting Started' section. You'll be automatically redirected to another page, where you must follow the steps to install OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan. Basically, you need to click on the blue 'Download the OS X El Capitan Public Beta' button.
The installation will continue via the Mac App Store application, which will automatically activate your unique redemption code so you can install OS X 10.11.4 Public Beta. The installer will begin to download in the background, but please note that it has over 6GB in size, which means that it might take a while if you have a slow Internet connection.

If you're new to Ruby on Rails or databases in general, I strongly recommend setting up PostgreSQL.
If you're coming from PHP, you may already be familiar with MySQL.
