i am new to rails so please help me to install
ruby on rails to my ubuntu 9.10
Thanks
You can read the instructions here:
http://rubyonrails.org/download
-
First, you need to install rubygems here
http://docs.rubygems.org/Install rubygems instruction here:
http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3 -
Then you can install rails. The instruction also here:
http://rubyonrails.org/download
Good luck!

Those are not particularly helpful as they are not ubuntu specific.
For example http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3 suggests gem
install rails when on Ubuntu it should be sudo gem install rails.
Google for ubuntu install ruby rails will I am sure give lots of hits.
I use this script to install it for use with apache and mysql. You
would have to tweak the folder names. Also check whether I am
fetching the latest version of rubygems, it may have been upgraded
since I used this last. Note that there are other solutions which
avoid apache and mysql but this is how I do it. Install apache and
mysql first, preferably (see below).
this derived from
http://www.hackido.com/2009/04/install-ruby-rails-on-ubuntu-904-jaunty.html
bits for building stuff
sudo apt-get install build-essential
ruby and mysql stuff, this assumes that the lamp stack with mysql
has already been installed
sudo apt-get install ruby ri rdoc libmysql-ruby ruby1.8-dev irb1.8
libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libmysql-ruby1.8 libmysqlclient15off
libnet-daemon-perl libplrpc-perl libreadline-ruby1.8 libruby1.8

tar xvzf /home/colinl/downloads/rubygems-1.3.5.tgz
cd rubygems-1.3.5
sudo ruby setup.rb
cd …
rm -rf rubygems-1.3.5
echo " making symlinks - not sure if this will always be necessary,
must be done if gem -v does not work"
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/local/bin/gem
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/local/bin/ruby

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ri1.8 /usr/local/bin/ri
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/irb1.8 /usr/local/bin/irb
rails latest version
sudo gem install rails
any other versions needed
#sudo gem install rails --version 2.3.2
To install the lamp stack and mysql - preferably do this before
install ruby and rails
this installs the lamp stack, the ^ is important. See
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql phpmyadmin
echo “"
echo “check server by http://localhost, should show ‘It Works’”
echo “to check php (or just go to phpmyadmin below):”
echo “gksudo gedit /var/www/testing.php and put <?php phpinfo(); ?> in
it”
echo “restart apache, not sure why by sudo service apache2 restart
(possibly because php was installed after apache)”
echo “go to http://localhost/testing.php”
echo “check phpmyadmin by http://localhost/phpmyadmin”
echo “To allow access to ~/webpages edit
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default”
echo “Change Document Root and associated directory line from /var/www
to /home/colinl/websites”
echo “note that doc root has no trailing /, directory does. Then
restart apache”
echo "”

If your Ubuntu is the 9.10, then
apt-get install rails
otherwise

That should be sudo apt-get install rails of course, but I thought
there were some issues installing from the ubuntu repository though I
don’t remember what.

Current version in Ubuntu repository is 2.2.3 which lags pretty much
behind official Rails repository (current stable release 2.3.5)
Regarding the original question, anyway you need some kind of Rails
tutorial and every one of them contains installation instructions.
Rails isn’t particularly difficult to install.
and I would strongly recommend RVM http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/.
Makes managing rubies and gems much easier.
I’m sorry I only have a French link to give you. But it’s a pretty
good one which saved my life last week. I’m sure you can translate it
with google.
At least you can follow the line of codes.
Good luck.
