Amethyst!

* Install `carthage` and `rbenv`. * These are not installed via the setup script so as to not casually pollute your global environment. * Run `rake setup`, which installs dependencies from Carthage and CocoaPods. * Note that by default CocoaPods will be installed and run via `bundler`. This restricts the version to get around some bugs in the current CocoaPods beta.
