Here are quick step to install ruby on rails on fedora.
1. First you need to install ruby rpms via yum:
# yum install ruby ruby-libs ruby-mode ruby-rdoc ruby-irb ruby-ri ruby-docs
2. Download rubygems from rubygems.org. Change to the extracted directory and run:
# ruby setup.rb
3.You can hence use gem to install rails. It may ask about installing dependencies. Answer "Y" or just hit return.
# gem install rails
4.Just test it by creating a skeleton rails app in home directory:
$ cd ~ $ rails apptest
5. Start the WEBrick server.
$ cd ~/apptest $ ruby script/server
The WEBrick server will get started and listening to the default port - 3000 .
6. Point your browser to:
http://localhost:3000/
A welcome page get displayed with some additional info for getting started.
congrualation you have ruby on rails installed on Fedora now.
