I downloaded rails-2.3.2.zip. How do I install it?

Rails
1

I’ve installed Ruby using the one-click installer for Windows.

As said, I downloaded the zip package for RoR and unzipped it to my
local hard disk. There is no main install.rb for RoR, but there is one
install.rb for Actionmailer, Actionpack, Activerecord, ActiveResource,
Activesupport. How to I install RoR then? Should I install each module
separately by running ‘ruby install.rd’ in each directory?

That’s not the correct way. You should:

  • install Ruby
  • Download rubygems and run setup.rb
  • Install Rails from rubygems with: $ [sudo] gem install rails

I wonder what is the use of rails-2.3.2.zip then? The reason I
downloaded the zip package is because my home connection is slow, only
52 kbps. So, I usually download anything that is large from somewhere
else like office, school or internet cafe, and then install it at home.
I could download and install RubyStack from
Ruby Cloud Hosting, Ruby Installer, Docker Container and VM. But in that case I can’t learn the
manual setup and the packages included are not always latest, I believe.

Can anyone help on this account?
