Walkthrough for installing Ruby and Rails on a clean (new) installation of Ubuntu.
Assumptions:
- Ubuntu has just been installed
Steps:
- Installing Apache2
- Installing MySQL
- Installing Ruby
- Installing RubyGems
- Installing Rails
- Installing Essential Gems and Plugins
- Setting Gems in Environment.rb
Installing Apache2:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Installing MySQL:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install mysql-client
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev
sudo apt-get install mysql-client
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev
Installing Ruby:
sudo apt-get install ruby
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo aptitude install libmysql-ruby1.8
sudo apt-get install irb
sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby1.8
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo aptitude install libmysql-ruby1.8
sudo apt-get install irb
sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby1.8
Installing RubyGems:
sudo apt-get install rubygems
Installing Rails:
gem install rails
gem install mysql
gem install mysql
Let’s conduct a quick test to see if all is well:
irb
#irb(main):001:0>
require ‘mysql’
true
#irb(main):002:0>
exit
#irb(main):001:0>
require ‘mysql’
true
#irb(main):002:0>
exit
Installing Essential Gems and Plugins
gem install haml
gem install rake
gem sources -a http://gemcutter.org
gem tumble
gem tumble
gem install inherited_resources
gem install formtastic
gem install rake
gem sources -a http://gemcutter.org
gem tumble
gem tumble
gem install inherited_resources
gem install formtastic
Setting Gems in Environment.rb
config.gem ‘inherited_resources’,
:lib => ‘inherited_resources’,
:version => ‘= 0.9.1′,
:source => ‘http://gems.github.com’
config.gem ‘haml’
config.gem ‘formtastic’
:lib => ‘inherited_resources’,
:version => ‘= 0.9.1′,
:source => ‘http://gems.github.com’
config.gem ‘haml’
config.gem ‘formtastic’
