Ruby on Rails on Linux

Terminal

We're going to do all this stuff in the terminal. Suck it up Buttercup. If terminal makes you queazy, it's time to learn. Log on to your Ubuntu VM and hit Search your computer in the top left. Type term and click Terminal.

apt-get

Alright. Now that we have a Linux virtual machine, let's get Ruby on Rails running. First up, we need to do the Linux version of Windows Update:

prawnhead@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update  
prawnhead@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

We need to run these two commands. In my experience nothing weird happens when you do. It just updates components on your Linux system. apt-get update also updates the machine's internal catalog of what software is available and which versions. If apt-get upgrade asks for permission, just go ahead.

Now we'll see if the programming language Ruby is already installed and see if the Ruby on Rails framework is there too.

 prawnhead@ubuntu:~$ ruby -v  
 The program 'ruby' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:  
 sudo apt install ruby  
 prawnhead@ubuntu:~$ rails -v  
 The program 'rails' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:  
 sudo apt install ruby-railties  
 prawnhead@ubuntu:~$

I expect, like me, you'll find neither is there. If you're installing on a Mac or some other operating system, don't worry if you see a version of Ruby already installed. Systems run fine with multiple versions of Ruby and the procedure we'll use handles management of the different installed versions.

Install Ruby on Rails

Now we defer to the GoRails procedure: https://gorails.com/setup/ubuntu/14.04

  • Make sure you have the correct Ubuntu version selected at the top of the page
  • Use all the recommended defaults
  • Feel free to skip Configuring Git unless you know you want to use Git
  • You can skip Setting Up MySQL and/or Setting Up PostgreSQL. Rails uses SQLite by default so you don't have to use either MySQL or PostgreSQL
  • Take your time!

I recommend copy-pasting text from the procedure into your terminal window. Be aware of changed key bindings when working between host operating system and virtual machine. On my Mac I have to use Command-C to copy in Safari and Shift-Control-V to past into Ubuntu on Parallels. In Terminal you can use the cursor up/down keys on the keyboard to cycle through the commands you've already used, either to see what you did wrong or to repeat a command you've already used.

These are my terminal dumps of running through the procedures.

Install Ruby on Rails (2.4.0)

Please comment if you had issues and I'll try to help. In my next post I'll go through some basics of creating rails apps and how to use them. They really are awesome. It's hard not to be impressed with how much power Ruby on Rails gives you for so little work.

That is all.
