I am running windows vista on my laptop. i installed virtual machine and virtual rails and am using linux mint. after the installation i followed a tutorial which had me do the following:
1. Log in and open a terminal if you need to. First we'll install Ruby 1.8 and Ruby's development libraries. We'll also install IRB, which is quite useful while trying Ruby programming. sudo apt-get install ruby ruby1.8-dev irb You will be prompted for your password so be sure to get it right! 2. Now that Ruby's installed, let's install SQLite 3. SQLite is a lightweight, file-based database that's good for development. Feel free to use another database here if you'd like, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. sudo apt-get install sqlite3 both these installations were succesful. I tried following the 3rd installation but I could not find the exe. file to open and install rails 3. Now let's start installing Rails. First you'll need RubyGems. Download it this way: wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/5 … 0.8.11.tgz 4. Now unpack the RubyGems package: tar -zxvf rubygems-0.8.11.tgz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
