Today I started to play with Grails 1.0.4 on OSX 10.5.6 a.k.a Leopard and the experience was really straight forward, just follow the instructions in the main Grails website. This is my quick 4 point installation guide:
1.- Download grails and unzip it in a local directory like:
/Users/Me/Development/Grails
2.- Setup your environment variables in your $HOME .bash_profile file:
GRAILS_HOME=/Users/Me/Development/Grails;
export GRAILS_HOME
PATH=”$GRAILS_HOME/bin:${PATH}”
export PATH
3.- Add execution permission to grails script:
$ cd /Users/Me/Development/Grails/bin
$ chmod +x grails
4.- Type grails in your terminal command line to verify the installation:
$grails
