railsinstaller for Windows:
- *[This is actually Step 5:] *The remaining steps will require you
to
have a text editor. There are various text editors you can use out
there
but I’ll put one below that is fairly popular in the developer
community.
-
Visit link to download: Sublime Text http://www.sublimetext.com/
-
After downloading and installing Sublime Text you’ll need to
install
its command line functionality: -
Open up the folder containing your SublimeText.exe file. Should be
under something like:C:\Program Files\Sublime_Text_2.exe
-
Copy that .exe file and paste it into the same folder. Rename
the
copied file to something like “subl” or whatever command you want
to use to
call it from the command prompt -
Copy the file path of your current folder or the folder that
contains your newly created subl.exe file -
Right click on “My Computer”, click on “Advanced System
Settings”,
click on “Environment Variables”, scroll down to the system
variables on
the bottom and find a variable called “Path”, click “Edit”. Now
type a
semicolon “;” and paste the path that you copied earlier. Now exit
out of
everything by clicking “OK” and restart your Command Line Prompt -
You can now visit the folder of your rails application and open
your new rails app with Sublime Text$ cd railsinstaller_demo
$ subl .
- *[This is actually Step 6:] *Now that you have your rails
demo app open in the text editor…
- *[This is actually Step 6:] *Now that you have your rails
-
Um… yeah, not so much:
I’ve followed all the directions up to this point, and everything I’ve
been
told to install has installed without error, but as far as I can tell, I
do
not “have my rails demo app open” in Sublime Text. Typing “subl .” in
the
command prompt just re-ran the Sublime Text installer. Launching it now
I
see no sign of my railsinstaller_demo app, I have no idea how to open
it,
or if I have even afforded myself that capability yet. Which means I’m
at
a standstill.
Help! Thank you…
