Ruby on Rails installation

Question

I borrowed Agile Web Development with Rails from my local library, and for Mac development it asked me to view this article: http://hivelogic.com/articles/ruby-rails-mongrel-mysql-osx

I'm a little bit worried about following the article because I am running Snow Leopard. Does anyone have an article for installing Rails for Snow Leopard? Your help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

Snow Leopard includes Rails, so it isn't necessary to install it.

But to install Rails from scratch, here is what you do:

sudo gem install rails

You then have Rails.

That tutorial includes steps such as installing Ruby from scratch, which wouldn't hurt, but isn't as necessary as it was back then (the version of 1.8.2 that Apple included was old and buggy).

Answer 2

Rails已经安装在Snow Leopard上，但是我确实使用本文在/usr/local安装了一个单独的副本（本文提供了为什么这样做是一个好主意的链接）。
