I tried everything to install this version of ruby and rails 3 in my s.o. All the the tutorials that I found don't work. Sb know how to install this version of RoR in my S.O. I'm using Debian. Thx ;D

I strongly suggest you use rvm. See http://beginrescueend.com/

I already tried it. But the "ruby -v" only works in non-root mode and "rails -v" doesn't work in any mode ;/

You'll have to give a bit more information than that if you want any useful help.

Do you have rvm installed and working? Does your installation pass the "type rvm | head -1" test?

How then did you install ruby? And rails? What do you see when you type "ruby -v"? And "rails -v"?

What do you mean by "S.O."?

yeah, I already type "rvm | head -1", and everything works good. I installed ruby using rvm. "rvm install 1.9.2". It works well but when I type "ruby -v" in console, if I'm on sudo mode it shows me a message telling me that this command does not find. Otherwise if I'm not on sudo mode it works well. I tried again something of one blog and "rails -v" now works in any mode, but "ruby -v" problem continues. That's the first time that I'm using rvm, so all the time that I need to use "rake db:migrate" or "rails -s", I need to type "rvm rake db:migrate" and "rvm rails -s"?

Sorry by the word "S.O", I'm brazilian guy. And here "operating system = O.S" is equals to "S.O".

Thx :smiley:

Now it works! I follow again some steps of one blog and it works! all the time that I need to use "rake db:migrate" I type "rvm rake db:migrate" isn't it? "ruby -v" doesn't appears in root mode, but if it works is not a problem :stuck_out_tongue: thx for the help :smiley:

No -- just `rake db:migrate` will work.

I believe that normally rvm would not be used in root mode, that is part of the point I think. It allows ruby and gems to be installed on a per-user basis.

The whole point of rvm is that it installs your own private environment. You don't need to use su or sudo at all.

I tried again something of one blog and "rails -v" now works in any mode, but "ruby -v" problem continues. That's the first time that I'm using rvm, so all the time that I need to use "rake db:migrate" or "rails -s", I need to type "rvm rake db:migrate" and "rvm rails -s"?

No. Simply type:

rvm use 1.9.2

and then for the rest of your session you'll have the environment which you need. You just type:

rake db:migrate

or:

rails server

or whatever you want.

Cheers, John
