Furthermore, I tend to use Gemfile over gemsets to manage the gems of a Rails project. Just a few things to consider in your development of this project. In summary, this seems like a better idea for a first install of a Rails environment. Rails also support the notion of application templates by using -m option and you can learn mnore about it here: http://railscasts.com/episodes/148-app-templates-in-rails-2-3 Good luck, -Conrad > Why are you doing all these steps when you can use the one step rails > installer to do them for you? > Help me help you!! > > Looking forward to seeing folks on the Github! > _Ryan Wilcox > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
