First, let’s list all the available versions of Ruby:
#STEP RAILS INSTALL#
With the ruby-build plugin now installed, you can install versions of Ruby y may need through a simple command. This plugin adds the rbenv install command, which simplifies the installation process for new versions of Ruby:Īt this point, you have both rbenv and ruby-build installed. Your terminal window will display the following:Įval "$(rbenv "sh-$command" rbenv "$command" install the ( ), plugin. Verify that rbenv is set up properly by using the type command, which will display more information about the rbenv command: Next, apply the changes you made to your ~/.bashrc file to your current shell session:
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' > ~/.bashrc. Then add the command eval "$(rbenv init -)" to your ~/.bashrc file so rbenv loads automatically: echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' > ~/.bashrc. Do this by altering your ~/.bashrc file so that it affects future login sessions: Next, add ~/.rbenv/bin to your $PATH so that you can use the rbenv command line utility. Clone the rbenv repository from GitHub into the directory ~/.rbenv: Once the dependencies download, you can install rbenv itself. sudo apt install autoconf bison build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm5 libgdbm-dev. Next, install the dependencies required to install Ruby: Once those are installed, you can install rbenv and use it to install Ruby, Ruby relies on several packages which you can install through your package manager. A few Rails features, such as the Asset Pipeline, depend on a JavaScript Runtime. #STEP RAILS HOW TO#
Node.js installed using the official PPA, as explained in How To Install Node.js on Ubuntu 18.04. One Ubuntu 18.04 server set up by following the Ubuntu 18.04 initial server setup guide, including a sudo non-root user and a firewall. This tutorial will take you through the Ruby and Rails installation process via rbenv. Rbenv provides support for specifying application-specific versions of Ruby, lets you change the global Ruby for each user, and allows you to use an environment variable to override the Ruby version. Using rbenv will provide you with a solid environment for developing your Ruby on Rails applications as it will let you easily switch Ruby versions, keeping your entire team on the same version.
You can easily install Ruby and Rails with the command-line tool rbenv. The Ruby programming language, combined with the Rails development framework, makes app development simple. Ruby on Rails is one of the most popular application stacks for developers looking to create sites and web apps.
