Hi:

I love Locomotive and use it exclusively for my rails projects. I’d  
like to install GRUFF and give it a try (a graph image creation  
package). I know I can do sudo gem install gruff from the command  
line for normal ruby and rails. How do I make gems available to  
Locomotive?

Hi Bruce,

You can extend the Locomotive rails bundles the same way. Open a  
Terminal from Locomotive and `sudo gem install <gemname>` away!

Thanks, Ryan.

And anyone reading this who might be interested, do give Locomotive a  
try. I love it; you may too.

Hi,

just a silly question to this (i’m new to mac, so please forgive):

after typing "sudo gem install gruff " I get  
“gem: command not found”

Do I need ruby for this? Is there a package for mac, or do I have to  
compile? I don’t want the complete RoR-mac-package, as I already have  
mysql.

Thanks,  
Beate

This shouldn’t happen if you’re opening your Terminal window from  
within Locomotive. When you do that, you get the whole ruby,  
lighttpd, gem, rails, etc… environment automatically added to your  
path.
