Autodetect': Could not find a JavaScript runtime

Rails
#1

Hey

I was working with Railinstaller, but everytime i turned around I found
something new had changed. Soo I thought I would give Ubuntu a try . I
do
like unix better then window. anyway… I created a new project then
went
to run rail server only to find this error - autodetect’: Could not find
a
JavaScript runtime.

I cant seem to get around this problem - any thoughts

Thanks in advance
Jeff

Have a look at the Rails Guide on Getting Started. Section 4.1
explains what this is about.

Is there somewhere that explains the new updates to gem files like
needing
rubyracer or execjs - like what things have changed? When I first
started
working with rails about 4 months ago there was no need for
thanks

I looked and didn’t see much either. Ended up running apt-get install nodejs to make it stop complaining. Seems like they are
assuming a lot about anyone’s particular website needs these days.

$ sudo apt-get install nodejs

This will remove your problem.
