For 2023 - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.
Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!
I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |
Cheat Sheet - what do you need for Ruby on Rails?
Here is a "cheat sheet" of the commands you might use to install Ruby, then Gems, then Rails, then get your first application and server running.
1. Ruby
tar xf ruby-1.9.1-p376.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.9.1-p376/
./configure
make
make install
Check installation:
[root@easterton ruby-1.9.1-p376]# ruby -v
ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041) [i686-linux]
[root@easterton ruby-1.9.1-p376]#
2. Ruby Gems
RubyGems is a sophisticated package manager for Ruby.
See http://docs.rubygems.org/ ...
Set up gems once you've installed Ruby via:
ruby setup.rb
3. Rails
gem install rails
4. Create a framework for your first application
rails path/to/your/new/application
5. Start the server
cd path/to/your/new/application
ruby script/server
Check installation:
Browse to http://localhost:3000/
