Hi,

I have the current version of GEM rails installed on my machine at the  
moment. I would like to put edge rails on for a project that I’m  
working  
on, but I would like to keep the Gem version, at least for the moment.

Also is there any documentation about installing Edge rails? I have  
looked  
on the wiki but it was not obvious to me where it is.

Cheers  
Daniel

assuming your doing something on \*nixish machine:

cd $RAILS\_ROOT/vendor  
svn co [http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk) rails

start your app

you’re now running of Edge Rails

enjoy 🙂

you should have subversion installed ofcourse
