Description
It seems that publishing a set of Rails installation instructions is a rite of passage for many Ruby on Rails developers, and I am no different. I do not claim any special expertise, and indeed these instructions are based upon what I located on the web. I am merely reporting what worked for me in the hope that others may find the information useful. See below for a discussion of Why Linux? Why Ubuntu? and First Get Yourself an Ubuntu Linux Comments and especially corrections are welcome. Please email me at edwin@edwinmeyer.com The following was originally performed on an Ubuntu 8.04 system. Most sections were repeated following a recent upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04. I expect that these instructions will also work with intervening Ubuntu versions 9.04 and 9.10, as well as some earlier and later versions. What is important is not the precise Ubuntu version, but that a mutual compatible set of Ruby, Rails, and supporting packages are installed. These instructions might also work with other Linux distributions which use the Debian package management system. Also see below for a note on Turnkey Linux for Server Installation
