I am trying to install rails 3 beta It says it is installed but when I look in the rails-3.0.0.beta directory the only thing in there is .require\_paths Have I screwed up somewhere? I have also updated ruby 1.9.1 and that is fine the rest of the beta gems are there using snow leopard and installing in /usr/local ---

In any case, you might want to search this mailing for a reference to the Rails 3.0 beta release notes. Good luck, -Conrad ---

This didn’t work for me. What did work for me was: gem install tzinfo builder i18n memcache-client rack rake rack-test rack-mount erubis mail text-format thor gem install rails --pre Note: this is on Linux; it may need translation for OS X.

And I’m not done. One thing that has tripped me up is some of the material on Rails 3 was written pre-public beta and assumes you are installing Edge Rails w/ freezes, etc. The best resources I’ve found for installing the public beta is: > **[rails.info](http://guides.rails.info/3_0_release_notes.html#upgrade-process)** > > Ruby on Rails,Rails Tutorial,Ruby Basics,Rails 4,Bar Rails,Rail > **[Omg GIFs | GIFDB.com](https://gifdb.com/omg)** > > Download Omg GIFs for Free on GifDB. More than 56 Omg Animated GIFs to download. Be aware that some of what they link to is pre-public beta. HTH, Jeffrey ---

Hi everyone, I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and I have managed to install everything but I am unable to run the commands. That is, if I type the following: ruby -S rails I get the following error: ruby: No such file or directory – rails (LoadError) Has anyone come across this problem? Thanks in advance! Fidel.
