Installing Ruby on Rails on Debian
It’s Lenny I think.
Anyway, if you want to install your own development environment you have to do this things:
Install the Ruby environment
- # aptitude install ruby-full build-essential
Install the Gem manager
- # wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.3.6.tgz
- # tar xzvf rubygems-1.3.6.tgz
- # ruby rubygems-1.3.6/setup.rb
- # ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem
Install Rails and some database support
- # gem install rails sqlite3-ruby mongrel
Ok, that’s all.
I installed libsqlite3-dev too, but I don’t remember if it’s required. If you want to test your environment do this:
- $ rails test
- $ ruby test/script/server
and point your browser to localhost:3000. That’s all.
