No, no, no, NO! The existance of distro specific packages of Rails is an anomoly not a reccomendation. "Run away, Run away!" (from the man-eating rabbit) There is and has been been one and only one way to install (base/stable) Rails. As a gem. Rails is really a set of gems packaged together. First you have to install RubyGems wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/11289/rubygems-0.9.0.tgz Extract, cd to rubygems-0.9.0/; ruby setup.rb Once RubyGems is installed, install Rails sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies You are good to go: Run the rails command to create your first web site. rails mysite .... # lots of output cd mysite # start the serve script/server # - or install mongrel - a faster websever sudo gem install mongrel mongrel_rails start browse tp http://localhost:3000 BTW this is from the official rubyOnRails website: http://www.rubyonrails.com/down Happy Riding!
