I installed the radiant 0.52 gem and created a new application with  
the radiant command. However, my app doesn’t contain a rake file in  
project root folder. Does radiant have one? I’d like to freeze  
rails for this project.

If you installed Radiant from the gem it shouldn’t allow you to run it  
with a higher version of rails. The gem is locked on the exact version  
of Rails that it was created for.

If you would like access to the Rakefile you will need to run it in  
“application” mode. To install it that way, run:

% radiant -t app /path/to/radiant/install
