Installation steps for Ruby on Rails?

rubyonrails-talk
1

The current project that I'm currently worked on has a requirement for Ruby on Rails and the migration facility provided by it to keep databases in sync. And, I'm completely new to this technology.

Here's my scene : 1) Ruby 1.8.7 patch level 302 2) Rails 2.3.8 3) MYSql (dnt know version) 4) OS : Windows 7

I installed the 1st via the online ruby installer; and, the next two using 'gem install –v=2.3.8 rails' and 'gem install mysql' respectively.

Also, did 'gem install rubygems-update -v='1.4.2'' On command, rake db:migrate, Ruby is supposed to help run all the *.rb files and update my database tables. But I come across this,

"No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)" My rakeFile is present in the project. So, what am I supposed to do in such a case?

You are running from the application where the rake file is not there. from the rails application folder ty to run this command. Then It will Identify the rake command.
