Ruby on Rails 1.9.2

Hello Everyone

Can someone please tell me how I can install RoR 1.9.2 on my iMac Snow Leopard

I have tried the following:

Step 1: Get RVM installed to your .rvm directory
bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )
Step 2: RVM Post install
Add this next line to your .bash_profile or .bashrc in your home directory -
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # This loads RVM into a shell session.
Step 3: Test your RVM install
Run this command -
type rvm | head -1
And you should see -
rvm is a function
Step 4: Load RVM (this is what step 2 will do for you from now on, but in the terminal you are working in, you'll need to do this since it was not loaded)
Run this -
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
Step 5: Install some packages, readline so your irb/console works and openssl
rvm package install readline
rvm package install openssl
Step 6: Install ruby 1.9.2
rvm install 1.9.2
Or choose a different one from the list generated by this command -
rvm list known
Step 7: Install your a rails 3 gemset
rvm gemset create rails3
Step 8: To see what rubies you have installed
rvm list
Step 9: To see what gemsets you have created
rvm gemset list
Step 10: Pick a ruby and gemset combo to use -
Something like this -
rvm use ruby-1.9.2-p136@rails3
Where the ruby version is on the left of the @ and the gemset is on the right of the @.
Step 11: Use .rvmrc for your projects
From this point on, you can use a .rvmrc in what ever directory needs a particular rvm
So edit .rvmrc and put
rvm use ruby-1.9.2-p136@rails3
And anytime you cd into that directory, the rvmrc file will be executed and your rvm environment will be setup
Step 12: Always know what rvm environment you are in -
rvm info
The important parts are the ruby version (about a 3rd of the way down) and the gemset (very last bit listed)
Step 13: Install rails
Once you've made sure that you're using the proper ruby and gemset, then you can install gems (do not use sudo here)
gem install rails
This will install the latest rails version, 3.0.4 as of 2/8/2011
Step 14: Create your rails app
rails new my_app
Step 15: You'll need bundler to run your Gemfile
gem install bundler
Every other gem for the project should be maintained in the Gemfile and installed using bundler
bundle install

However on step one, I get the following error:

bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )

I would greatly appreciate any help. I really need this for my University exercises

Does the included version not work for you? OS X comes with Rails but it may be a bit out of date.

Follow the instructions here - much simpler. If that doesn't work, you can get the version of git you have by executing the following: Compare that to the required version.

Yep you said it. It is way out of date.

I really need the latest version

I'll try and follow them instructions, will be back.

OK I'm back


says Command not found !

As for the links what instructions do you mean ? I can't see any instructions on there ! There is a download of Source >> but that's not 1.9.2.

Also It doesn't say how I would compile assuming I had 1.9.2

Git homepage.

The instructions are there. Ensure that Ruby is installed and is recent enough. Then, install RubyGems. Once that is installed, use it to install Rails.

Hello Vansmith.

Although I have an iMac, I'm still a n00b at many simple things.

I have gone ahead and installed Git, and now the version command returns 1.7.4.1

How do I get RoR 1.9.2 now ?

I have gone ahead and tried them instructions in my first post and this time I did not get error (must have been a { git } thing) it said that RVM was now installed.

Now I'm stuck on the 2nd insturction, I don't see a .bash_profile in my home directory

If there isn't one there, create it.

I'm not sure where you got your instructions from - they look needlessly complex. The instructions I provided are much simpler and come from the RoR website.

Terminal that is Commands-Tempermental

Ruby and Rails are installed, per my terminal, and updated to the latest versions. However, the commands are not being recognized, and it's not like the application is hanging out in my Applications folder, like a text editor. I am guessing it's more like MySQL, meaning it gets compatible with my terminal commands and shells I install, but it exists within my OS... so without being able to access it with commands, what use is it? Any common reasons this happens/popular fixes? I have a feeling something with -bash is off, and so I will research more steps related to it, but when I echo $PATH I also get a somewhat convoluted output: echo $PATH
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin:/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@global/bin:/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin:/usr/local/rvm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/sm/bin:/opt/sm/pkg/active/bin:/opt/sm/pkg/active/sbin

Not sure that is effective. All help appreciated.

Which commands are not recognized? Have you done a "whereis" or "which" for each of those?

New to Unix formatting. I came across "Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal" pdf, so I'm familiarizing, but in your example, do I need any formatting, or is it whereis ruby? whereis rails? whereis sublime?

hmmm...
/usr/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/rails

nothing yet for sublime...

Does that path look out-of-sorts, however? why are ruby and rails such a part of the overarching path (at top)??
