Let’s start Ruby programming.


Install Rails for Windows

Install Devkit

Rails require Devkit and its PATH
Devkit is toolset. Maybe, create folder under c:\Devikit and extract Devkit-sxf.exe under it
And this path to PATH

Install Devkit

Go Devkit folder and type
This is initialization

ruby dk.rb init

Next is install

ruby dk.rb install

Skip install doc

Add some setting for gem.
By default, gem installs all documentation. That takes a lot of time.:x
To skip install doc, create .gemrc file under c:Users\<username>(Windows 7)

install: --no-ri --no-rdoc
update: --no-ri --no-rdoc

Ruby reads this file and set gem setting

Install Rails using gem

Type following command under cmd.exe

gem install rails

If there are no error, works fine.

Check

Type

rails -v

Rails version should be shown


First Rails Applicatio

In my opinion, please create new folder for Rails

Create new application

rails new applicationname

applicationname is your application name.(No rules)
rails new command create Rails Application set(files)

※If you want to use mysql(Default database is sqlite3, which is installed under Ruby)
Type this

rails new applicationname -d mysql

Start Application

Go Application folder and type

rails s

Ruby has WEBrick server for development. This command invokes WEBRick server
By default, port is 3000

Verify

Access http://localhost:3000

rails

※If you use x64 version, sqlite3 error has occured
By default rails use 32bit sqlite3 version by default
Please open Gemfile.lock and edit
sqlite3(1.3.8)
1.3.8 is your version in Ruby

To fix, installation version(require gems) Try it!

bundle install

Stop Rails Application

Ctrl + S

Rails with Eclipse

Install Eclipse and Install Aptana

Install Eclipse is very straight.
Next is Aptana. Aptana is web development useful plugin(Rails, Python, PHP, JavaScript).
“Help” -> “Install New Software”

Access Aptana web site and find Aptana plugin URL
aptana3

Add new repository and type URL
aptana
aptana2

Start install and restart eclipse

Create new Application

“File” -> “Others” -> “Rails Project”
