Can I download this once and then copy it to my other machines or do I have to download this individually on every one?

yes, once you download it, you can copy over the .app installer on a USB disk and use it to install on your other machines. You can also make a bootable USB installer from the .app

I'm getting the error "Before installing OS X Mavericks, this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1. Click on the Updates button in the Mac App Store to install the update." even though I've applied the firmware update and there aren't any updates (besides Mavericks) in the Mac App Store. Any help?

Lots of people have reported having to install that thing more than once.

When you installed it, after reboot, did you absolutely get a window saying it was successful? (for me, the window took 45-60 seconds to pop up, and it failed twice before it worked (didn't want to install on battery)).

Try reloading the updates section of the Mac App Store again, and again.

Has anybody had any issues with homebrew, virtualenv, or prezto (zsh) after a Mavericks install?

First hitch I've noticed with 10.9: "gdb" seems to be missing. Gcc is still there. I've looked around to see if there's another optional download that I'm missing (like a Command Line Tools for Mavericks), but I don't see one.

Looks like Xcode is using lldb for debugging, and I can use lldb on the command line. I guess lldb is now the standard 1st-party debugger? Guess I will be figuring out how to install gdb manually..

Just finished installing this. Upgrade took about 35 minutes total on my macbook air (2011). Was able to run a local Rails 4 app connecting to MySQL with no problems after the upgrade. Trying to install ruby 2.0-p247 now and all the gems and see what happens.

Isn't 2.0.0-p247 the system ruby? My rvm install was p195; after running "rvm use system" it's now p247 (ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [universal.x86_64-darwin13])

The firmware update gave me a success message after I had installed it, and I don't see it available again in the updates. So no luck there.

Homebrew seems to be working fine as I just did a brew update without any problems. I was getting virtualenvwrapper errors upon opening a new terminal because that was gone from /Library/Python

I fixed it by doing:

easy_install --upgrade pip

sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

I've been running the betas and using homebrew since they were released. No problems after the first few months. You need the new XCode/dev tools for it to work, which are in the app store.

Does anyone know how installing Mavericks affects hard drive space? I'm running on an 128GB SSD and space is always at a premium for me.

My MBP has a 128G SSD system drive as well (+ a big HDD for the data) and I got over 50G free, that's including some pretty big things (=25GB) in the Applications folder. /Library and /System folders come in at about 14GB together, I'd say a fresh Mavericks install should be around 30GB total.

I ran into an issue while installing. It said "An error occurred while installing OS X" and then froze. Afterwards, I got a bouncing question mark. Booting into internet recovery several times, and it couldn't find my HDD.

I finally assumed that it had probably fried my HDD somehow, so I powered off and ordered an SSD online since I was looking to upgrade anyway. I unplugged it from the wall and turned it on and it suddenly found the Mavericks installer again.

It seems to be working now.
