Installed RailsInstaller, but Ruby version is old and no Rails

[Aniruddha Barapatre]

I downloaded the kit from website and ran it today.

After the installation, I went to my Terminal and gave following commands

ruby -v --> This one showed me as v1.8.7

rails --help --> Rails is not currently installed on your system

Anything I missed while installing?

[Surya Avantsa]

You should run "gem install rails" command.

And how do I get latest ruby version. I thought RailsInstaller would upgrade it once installation is done.

[Surya Avantsa]

That depends on the version of the railsinstaller that you first installed.

Choose to download the latest version of the railsinstaller.

I tried from the latest one which I downloaded today.

Hi,

Did you make sure and open a new Terminal session or restart the computer? Also, please make sure and let us know the operating system and version.

Thanks,

Hey Evan,

I tried those steps too, but couldn't get it working.

I'm running it on OSX Mountain Lion.

Also, is there a plan for v10.9. I'm planning to update my OS, but am concerned if things would work on it.

[Evan Benjamin Machnic]

Hi,

Support for 10.9 is planned but the 10.8 version may work. There are discussions internally about moving forward with the product and if we may need to bring in more developers.

Regarding the upgrading of Ruby, it is recommendable to use a version manager and keep multiple versions installed with the ability to switch between them.  

Check out Pik: https://github.com/vertiginous/pik

It's fairly simple to get started and let's you switch versions with a single command.  If it works out for you, I'd appreciate feedback.

Best,

Paris

The user is running OSX, not Windows, so Pik recommendation might not work.

Also, Pik as been unmaintained for a few years, so is no longer a good recommendation.

Instead, I suggest a smaller and simpler tool called Uru: https://bitbucket.org/jonforums/uru/

It provides the same version switching capabilities but not automation of installation (neither Ruby or DevKit).

Hope that helps.

Hey Evan.  Having OSX 10.9 Maverics install problems.
There should be an advisory against upgrading to Mavericks as there is no Rails for that as of yet.
Having lots of problems installing this thing no matter what I try.  Any fool proof tested method on Mavericks to get Rails installed?

[Evan Machnic]

Check out one of the many other options out there: uru, RVM, chruby, rbenv

[OB1]

So there is no package deal ONE Click and your Golden?  For Mavericks?  Is it really that problematic?

TERMINAL
$gem install rails
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
    You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory.

There has been an error while trying to fetch the source. 
Halting the installation.

If using system Ruby, you need to use `sudo gem install rails`. I suggest using something like ruby-build to install Ruby versions.

Compatibility is an issue with Mavericks. Fortunately, Mavericks comes with Ruby 2 and it's not that hard to install Rails.
