Quick Installation Tutorials for Rails in Fedora Core 6
Setting up a Ruby on Rails environment in Fedora Core 6 is extremely easy. Most of the packages that required by Rails are included in Fedora Core repo. For packages, on top of ruby, I also pull in MySQL and Sqlite3 and their ruby API modules - as I use those databases for development (mysql) and testing (sqlite).
- ruby 1.8.5
- mysql 5.0.27
- sqlite 3.3.6
1. Install ruby, mysql rpms through yum:
2. I choose gems to manage rails and plugins, so download and install rubygems:
3. Install rails and my favorite web server for rails, mongrel (and its cluster module):
4. Finally run and turn on mysql daemon at boot time:
5. Test your rails setup:
That’s it. Quick five steps - all of these should get rails running on your new staging server or your development environment. I will leave the info on configuring the Mongrel cluster to another post.
