Hi all,

I am trying to get Akismet installed on a RoR app. When trying to  
install Rakismet using:  
script/plugin install git://github.com/jfrench/rakismet

I always get, plugin not found.

Does anyone know where I can get this from or an alternate plugin?

Thanks,  
Schalk

tried just now and it worked fine. Do you have rails 2.1 or higher?  
(previous version didn’t do plugins from git)

Ah, thanks Frederick. I am on Rails 2.0.2, probably time to upgrade 😉

You can still get the plugin, you’ll just have to check it out from  
git yourself (whether the plugin itself supports 2.0.2 I don’t know)
