Installing ferret on windows

Ruby Apps Ferret
1

Hello, Im running rails 1.1.2 and ferret 0.9.3 and cant install
act_as_ferret.

I tryed the following instruction at act_as_ferret wiki:
"Installation

Please use

script/plugin install
svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/plugin/stable/acts_as_ferret

for easy installation of the current stable version of the plugin. At
the moment this is version 0.2.1 based on Subversion Rev. 51. This is
supposed to work with Ferret 0.9.3 and Rails >= 1.0. "

(ruby script/plugin install in my case as Im on a win box)

I did what he sais. I also tryed changing the svn url from /tags/ to
/trunk/ but it does not work. And it doesnt leave any messages on the
command prompt…

Anyone knows how I can install it?

Thanks in advance

Hey Marcio,

I ran into the same thing just yesterday! Ughh! I don’t have any insight
into this, but just wanted to let you know you’re not the only one.

Hi you two,

I’ve ran into the some issues with the script/plugin script on windows
the
last few days myself. Which have nothing to do with acts_as_ferret. You
don’t rely on script/plugin for installing acts_as_ferret. With a
subversion
client like tortoise on windows or whatever you like you might check out
the
acts_as_ferret repository and simply copy the checked out version to
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins and your ready to go…

Cheers,
Jan
