Hi, you’ll need to download the sources from github.com. For example,

you’ll need to do the following:

$ git clone git://gitbub.com/rails/rails.git

$ cd rails

$ git submodule init

$ git submodule update

$ sudo rake install

$ rails -v

However, I would recommend embracing gems for the installation of 3rd

pary Ruby packages. Why? It simply makes life much easier for both

development and deployment. However, in the end, it’s your choice and

I wish you all the best.

Good luck,
