I have installed virtual machine and virtual rails on my laptop using
Linux mint. Im learning as I go. Everything I need comes with this
package :
MySQL
Mongrel
Ruby1.8.7
Mongo D.B.
Git 1.6.3.3
Netbeans 6.8
so before I can run a rails application according to the tutorial I
need to configure a database and create a database. Is this correct??
I tried apt-get install and gem install and they did not
work...
if configuring and creating a database is the next step how do I go
about doing this?
no need to configure anything, all the hard work has been done for you. take a look at railstutorial.org/book, that will get you started. mysql is already configured, you will just need to start the service, which is outlined on the virtual rails site.

There shouldn't be anything to install; sounds like everything you need
is already there.
(That said, I'd urge you to try PostgreSQL instead of MySQL at some
point.)

Doesn't the tutorial talk about rake db:create and things like that? If
not, get a better tutorial.
