Locally install Rails documentation like api.rubyonrails.org

Rails

Hi!

How can I generate or download the Rails API documentation like the one
on api.rubyonrails.org ?
gem_server only gives access to separate packages like ActiveRecord,
ActiveSupport, etc and not to all Rails packages at the same time like
api.rubyonrails.org (which has got a prettier layout than rdoc too)…

Thanks !
Nicolas.

Bump?
I would really like to be able to browse the rails api during my work
when i’m not connected to the internet…

First off you need to freeze rails, i.e. download the source to a
local project, then run the rake task that builds the rails docs.

“rake --tasks” for specifics

In all likelihood, you can just run ‘gem_server’ from a command prompt
and then point your browser to http://localhost:8808/
I think gems generates the RDocs by default now, so the docs should all
be there.
