If you want to get everything at once, there are a couple of packages that provide a single installer for most of the components you need for Rails.
Locomotive, at http://locomotive.raaum.org, is the Mac OS X entry into this field. It consists of a bundle with Ruby, Rails, and MySQL. It also has a control panel to monitor all applications created within Locomotive, and a separate bundle with a binary installation of ImageMagick and RMagick.
Instant Rails (http://instantrails.rubyforge.org) is the Windows entry. It installs Ruby, Rails, Apache, Mongrel, and MySQL, as well as any Ruby component included in the OneClick Windows installer.
