how to install the latest version of rails on ubuntu 11.10?

Question

I want to install rails 3.2.1 on ubuntu 11.10. I already installed rbenv, ruby-build.

When I run

gem install rails

it tells me

Successfully installed rails-3.2.1
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for rails-3.2.1...
Installing RDoc documentation for rails-3.2.1...

then after rbenv rehash, if I run "rails", it cannot find the binary file. So I guess rails is NOT installed. How can I do?

gem list tells me the rails gem is installed. When I search for the rails binary I find this :

The rails binary should be in ~/.rbenv/shims but it's not. ~/.rbenv/shims is in my PATH

Answer 1

You need to add the bin subdirectory of /home/jafar/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p0/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1 to your PATH, eg edit your ~/.bashrc file and add this line at the end: export PATH=/home/jafar/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p0/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/bin:$PATH

And then see what the command rails --version will output.
