Installing plugins... is git necessary?

Hey Guys,

I tried the following on my rails 2.1.1 project:

script/plugin install acts_as_tree

and I got the following error:

Plugin not found: ["acts_as_tree"]

This method of installing plugins worked months ago on another rails 2.0+ project.... Do I need to use github now?

gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

Cheers, Sazima

So the "script/plugin install ..." script no longer works without git?

Sonny.

Thanks Sazima,

I added github as a source but I'm still getting the

Plugin not found: ["acts_as_tree"]

I wrote recently an article about Rails, Git and plugin management. It might be of interest to you: http://harryseldon.thinkosphere.com/2009/01/14/git-and-rails-a-detailed-tutorial-including-plugins-submodules-development-and-production H

Fernando's instructions worked for me. Seems a bit tedious though - working cli install would surely better? I tried following Sazima's instructions. Couldn't find the plug-in even with the git sources.
