Installing other dependencies:
* Install Homebrew from http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/
-* Install the latest version of Ruby: brew install ruby
-* Install ImageMagick: brew install imagemagick
-* Install Bundler: gem install bundler
+* Install the latest version of Ruby: `brew install ruby`
+* Install ImageMagick: `brew install imagemagick`
+* Install Bundler: `gem install bundler`
Note that OS X does not have a /home directory by default, so if you are using the GPX functions, you will need to change the directories specified in config/application.yml.
### PostgreSQL Btree-gist Extension
-We need to load the btree-gist extension, which is needed for showing changesets on the history tab.

```
psql -d openstreetmap -c "CREATE EXTENSION btree_gist"
### PostgreSQL Functions
-We need to install special functions into the postgresql databases, and these are provided by a library that needs compiling first.

cd db/functions
To ensure that everything is set up properly, you should now run:
```
-bundle exec rake test
+bundle exec rake test:db
```
This test will take a few minutes, reporting tests run, assertions, and any errors. If you receive no errors, then your installation is successful.
