hello,

i’ve been trying for days to install jrails\_in\_place\_editing from  
github, but couldn’t figure out how to do it. seems a big hassle on  
windows. so i thought i’m now trying to install it manually.

i downloaded and unpacked it and renamed the folder to get rid of the  
tons of numbers behind the name - it is now named  
jrails\_in\_place\_editing. then i put the folder in my rails\_apps/myapp  
folder and tried to run the command:

> ruby script/server install jrails\_in\_place\_editing

that didn’t work and i got the message, that the plugin could not be  
found. i guess you can only do that if the plugin lies within svn?

how can i install the plugin now? can i just copy the whole folder into  
my vendors/plugins folder? i probably have to do some other  
configurations? do i have to copy some of the files into  
public/javascript?

thanks,

nadine
