Subject: Re: [Rails-docs] execjs issue

Well, admittedly it's not quite 'plug'n'play' but it doesn't sound as if you've had a particularly difficult time getting going... it's about par for the course. So, yes, follow the guidance and get yourself a javascript runtime installed. And while you're at it, if you notice that the (volunteer-maintained) documentation could use some improvement, based on your experience, you can issue a pull request and help out the next guy. That's how the Rails community operates. Keep in mind, Joe, you're getting tens of thousands of other people's work product for free.
