Hi, can someone please tell me where can I find up-to-date instantrails (with rails 2.38, ruby 1.8.7) ... ? Thanks for any help Dani

I don’t believe InstantRails is being maintained anymore. You can look at BitNami’s Ruby Stack, or VirtualRails(it runs as a VM)

Hi,

InstantRails has been embeded in Aptana for now : http://www.aptana.com/

Hum, in fact this is RadRails, and not InstantRails

thank you all.

Aptana (RadRails) is an IDE. I'm looking for a ready package to install, soeting like InstantRails, but uptodate. Any ideas ?. regards, Dani

As Jason suggested, VirtualRails (http://www.virtualrails.org/) may be a good way to go.

You can just install instant rails and ‘gem update…’ and you should get what you want. I have done that with minimal effort and updated as far as RoR 2.2.2 (maybe further, I do not really remember and if I did I decided to use the 2.2.2 version).

Thank you Norm. I was looking to upgrade my InstantRails to rails 2.3.8 from 2.3.5 and ruby to 1.8.7. from 1.8.6. Now I have managed to do it. I have first upgraded gem to 1.3.7, upgraded ruby directly to x:\rails\ruby directory (windows), and at last "gem update rails" has done the rest - rails 2.3.8.

Now I have the environment I was looking for: Rails 2.3.8 Ruby 1.8.7 Thank you again.

Hi Rajeev, First I upgraded gem to 1.3.7 - 'gem update', then downloaded ruby 1.8.7 expanded it and copied the exe file to 'x:\rails\ruby' directory and run it there, then run - 'gem update rails' which upgraded to version 2.3.8. Hope this helps.
