Rails 2.3 provides new possibilities. Templates mean faster project initiation. And latest developments mean lesser installation.

This tutorial is fully tested on Ubuntu Jaunty:

It could be. I actually got most of my information from the Ubuntu Community Documentation site, like I stated in the beginning of the post. This tutorial was a composite of that site and my own experiences installing it in Ubuntu 7.10.

Thanks for reading!

Harley,

Great post.

You saved me alot of time.

Thank you!

btw – How did you figure out that mkmf is in the “ruby1.8-dev” package?

Delete my last comment, please. Your walkthrough would have worked unchanged except that I’m very bad and I temporarily added the Hardy repos in order to install the gnome-color-chooser. Adding it back in to install libmysqlclient15-dev worked.

Dude! I want to thank you so much. You did a great job on this post! I think that some of the details have gone stale but the main idea is there and it’s great that you took the time to post it. I have linked to this post on my blog so that it can help my friends trying to use Rails. Thanks again!
