Rails installation

Hi,

   I am new to Rails. I installed ruby in my system and when I try to install rails it is giving error and later I realized that my proxy server is blocking the rails gem download. So I downloaded the rails2.1 gem and what is the gem install command to install rails.

  Please help me I am totally on hold because of this. Expecting a quick reply :slight_smile:

Thanks, Ramu.

gem help install should help you out.

I did that. But it was asked for rake 0.8 then I installed rake. Now it is asking for Active support. Is there any package with all the gems??

Thanks, Ramu.

Not sure if this will help, but gems will traverse a proxy server if you tell it where to go by setting an environment variable like so:

  http_proxy=http://win_username:win_password@proxy.server.name.com:port_number

So for me it'd be something like:

  http_proxy=http://win_username:win_password@proxy.ghc.org:8080

I normally set that manually on a command line & then issue the appropriate gem command.

HTH,
