Docs: Update Development Dependencies Install
* Move all the testing related stuff to the contributing guide and redirect the reader to this guide once the installation process is finished as running tests is the logical next step. * Group documentation instructions by OS, not by gem * It eases the installation process and lessen the need to scroll through the guide * There's still a list of all additional services required for each of the gems above the instructions for each OS. * Also update a bit the instructions * Update some package names * Add `yarn` to the package list for Arch Linux and FreeBSD * Use `dnf` instead of `yum` for Fedora and CentOS * Advise the user to use `brew bundle` on macOS to lessen the maintenance burden for this OS and ease the process for the user.

+tools for different OSes.
-```bash
-$ bundle install --without db
-```
-
-This command will install all dependencies except the MySQL and PostgreSQL Ruby drivers. We will come back to these soon.
+#### macOS
-NOTE: If you would like to run the tests that use memcached, you need to ensure that you have it installed and running.
+On macOS you can use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) to install all of the
+additional tools.
-You can use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) to install memcached on macOS:
+To install all run:
```bash
-$ brew install memcached
+$ brew bundle
```
-On Ubuntu you can install it with apt-get:
+You'll also need to start each of the installed services. To list all
+available services run:
```bash
-$ sudo apt-get install memcached
+$ brew services list
```
-Or use yum on Fedora or CentOS:
+You can then start each of the services one by one like this:
```bash
-$ sudo yum install memcached
+$ brew services start mysql
```
-If you are running on Arch Linux:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo pacman -S memcached
-```
-
-For FreeBSD users, you're done with:
-
-```bash
-# pkg install memcached
-```
+Replace `mysql` with the name of the service you want to start.
-Alternatively, you can compile the `databases/memcached` port.
+#### Ubuntu
-With the dependencies now installed, you can run the test suite with:
+To install all run:
```bash
-$ bundle exec rake test
-```
-
-You can also run tests for a specific component, like Action Pack, by going into its directory and executing the same command:
+$ sudo apt-get update
+$ sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
+ mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev
+ postgresql postgresql-client postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
+ redis-server memcached imagemagick ffmpeg mupdf mupdf-tools
-```bash
-$ cd actionpack
-$ bundle exec rake test
+# Install Yarn
+$ curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+$ echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
+$ sudo apt-get install yarn
```
-If you want to run the tests located in a specific directory use the `TEST_DIR` environment variable. For example, this will run the tests in the `railties/test/generators` directory only:
-
-```bash
-$ cd railties
-$ TEST_DIR=generators bundle exec rake test
-```
+#### Fedora or CentOS
-You can run the tests for a particular file by using:
+To install all run:
```bash
-$ cd actionpack
-$ bundle exec ruby -Itest test/template/form_helper_test.rb
-```
-
-Or, you can run a single test in a particular file:
+$ sudo dnf install sqlite-devel sqlite-libs
+ mysql-server mysql-devel
+ postgresql-server postgresql-devel
+ redis memcached imagemagick ffmpeg mupdf
-```bash
-$ cd actionpack
-$ bundle exec ruby -Itest path/to/test.rb -n test_name
+# Install Yarn
+# Use this command if you do not have Node.js installed
+$ curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -
+# If you have Node.js installed, use this command instead
+$ curl --silent --location https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/yarn.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/yarn.repo
+$ sudo dnf install yarn

-### Railties Setup
-
-Some Railties tests depend on a JavaScript runtime environment, such as having [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed.
-
-### Active Record Setup
-
-Active Record's test suite runs three times: once for SQLite3, once for MySQL, and once for PostgreSQL. We are going to see now how to set up the environment for them.
-
-WARNING: If you're working with Active Record code, you _must_ ensure that the tests pass for at least MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3. Subtle differences between the various adapters have been behind the rejection of many patches that looked OK when tested only against MySQL.
-
-#### Database Configuration
-
-The Active Record test suite requires a custom config file: `activerecord/test/config.yml`. An example is provided in `activerecord/test/config.example.yml` which can be copied and used as needed for your environment.
+#### Arch Linux
-#### MySQL and PostgreSQL
-
-To be able to run the suite for MySQL and PostgreSQL we need their gems. Install
-first the servers, their client libraries, and their development files.
-
-On macOS, you can run:
-
-```bash
-$ brew install mysql
-$ brew install postgresql
-```
-
-Follow the instructions given by Homebrew to start these.
-
-On Ubuntu, just run:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev
-$ sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-client postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
-```
-
-On Fedora or CentOS, just run:

+### Database Configuration
-First, we need to delete `.bundle/config` because Bundler remembers in that file that we didn't want to install the "db" group (alternatively you can edit the file).
+There are couple of additional steps required to configure database engines

If you're using another database, check the file `activerecord/test/config.yml` or `activerecord/test/config.example.yml` for default connection information. You can edit `activerecord/test/config.yml` to provide different credentials on your machine if you must, but obviously you should not push any such changes back to Rails.
-### Action Cable Setup
-
-Action Cable uses Redis as its default subscriptions adapter ([read more](action_cable_overview.html#broadcasting)). Thus, in order to have Action Cable's tests passing you need to install and have Redis running.

-#### Install Redis From Source
+### Install JavaScript dependencies
-Redis' documentation discourage installations with package managers as those are usually outdated. Installing from source and bringing the server up is straight forward and well documented on [Redis' documentation](https://redis.io/download#installation).
-
-#### Install Redis From Package Manager
-
-On macOS, you can run:
-
-```bash
-$ brew install redis
-```
-
-Follow the instructions given by Homebrew to start these.
-
-On Ubuntu, just run:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo apt-get install redis-server
-```
-
-On Fedora or CentOS (requires EPEL enabled), just run:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo yum install redis
-```
-
-If you are running Arch Linux, just run:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo pacman -S redis
-$ sudo systemctl start redis
-```
-
-FreeBSD users will have to run the following:
-
-```bash
-# portmaster databases/redis
-```
-
-### Active Storage Setup
-
-When working on Active Storage, it is important to note that you need to
-install its JavaScript dependencies while working on that section of the
-codebase. In order to install these dependencies, it is necessary to
-have Yarn, a Node.js package manager, available on your system. A
-prerequisite for installing this package manager is that
-[Node.js](https://nodejs.org) is installed.
-
-
-On macOS, you can run:
-
-```bash
-$ brew install yarn
-```
-
-On Ubuntu, you can run:
-
-```bash
-$ curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
-$ echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
-
-$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn
-```
-
-On Fedora or CentOS, just run:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo wget https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/yarn.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/yarn.repo
-
-$ sudo yum install yarn
-```
-
-Finally, after installing Yarn, you will need to run the following
-command inside of the `activestorage` directory to install the dependencies:
+If you installed Yarn, you will need to install the javascript dependencies:
```bash
+$ cd activestorage
$ yarn install
```
-Extracting previews, tested in Active Storage's test suite requires third-party
-applications, ImageMagick for images, FFmpeg for video and muPDF for PDFs, and on macOS also XQuartz
-and Poppler. Without these applications installed, Active Storage tests will
-raise errors.
+### Install Bundler gem
-On macOS you can run:
+Get a recent version of [Bundler](https://bundler.io/)
```bash
-$ brew install ffmpeg
-$ brew install imagemagick
-$ brew cask install xquartz
-$ brew install mupdf-tools
-$ brew install poppler
+$ gem install bundler
+$ gem update bundler
```
-On Ubuntu, you can run:
+and run:
```bash
-$ sudo apt-get update
-$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
-$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick
-$ sudo apt-get install mupdf mupdf-tools
+$ bundle install
```
-On Fedora or CentOS, just run:
+or:
```bash
-$ sudo yum install ffmpeg
-$ sudo yum install imagemagick
-$ sudo yum install mupdf
+$ bundle install --without db
```
-FreeBSD users can just run:
+if you don't need to run Active Record tests.
-```bash
-# pkg install imagemagick
-# pkg install ffmpeg
-# pkg install mupdf
-```
-
-On Arch Linux, you can run:
+### Contribute to Rails
-```bash
-$ sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
-$ sudo pacman -S imagemagick
-$ sudo pacman -S mupdf mupdf-tools
-$ sudo pacman -S poppler
-```
+After you've setup everything, read how you can start [contributing](contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.html#running-an-application-against-your-local-branch).
