hi,

   i am new for rails. i installed rails like

$sudo gem install rails

it installed rails 3.0.9. while i am trying to create rails project like

$rails new sample -d mysql

it says rails currently not installed try to install ‘sudo apt-get install rails’ (i am using ubuntu10.10)

then i installed rails like,

$sudo apt-get install rails - it installed. Then i create my project it only create rails 2.3.5 project not rails 3.0.9 project.

then i checked rails version like

$ rails -v - it replied “Rails 2.3.5”

but in gem list rails 3.0.9 only installed.

why, i unable to create rails 3.0.9 project.

thank you…

No point using ruby via apt-get. You need to install RVM, and ruby.

An easy way is to use RailsReady - a one step ruby installation script.

Hi,

follow the steps from my Github repo https://github.com/gezope/InstallingRailsOnUbuntu and get me back if you still have problems. Important: if you're usig RVM (you definitely should) then don't use 'sudo' for install. First I think just use SQLite3.
