Getting on Rails Quickly for Debian-based systems
Posted by Dave Hrycyszyn 3rd November 2008 in Head Labs Tags: debian, installation, Ruby on Rails, ubuntuJust to speed things up for anybody who needs it, here are the commands we use to get Rails sites working on a fresh Debian-based system.
CODE:
-
sudo apt-get install ruby rdoc1.8 ri1.8 irb1.8 irb ruby1.8-dev build-essential
-
mysql-server libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient15off libmysqlclient15-dev mysql-admin
-
imagemagick librmagick-ruby libmagick9-dev libopenssl-ruby subversion git-core
Next, go to http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 and download the latest rubygems package (grab the .tar.gz file).
Extract it, and run
CODE:
-
sudo ruby setup.rb
When that finishes, you should be able to type
CODE:
-
gem -v
And get a version number (like 1.3.1 at present). If this doesn't work, it may be the case that it installed as command "gem1.8" (rather than "gem"). So we can fix this pretty easily:
CODE:
-
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem
Lastly you can install all the commonly used gems we use here:
CODE:
-
gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
-
sudo gem install mongrel ruby-debug mysql mislav-will_paginate ferret
-
acts_as_ferret rmagick fastercsv rails capistrano rake
