Ruby flew too

I wanted to have a triple boot computer - why? don't ask me why! Oh, ok, I'll tell you - I needed Windows 7 for some current work and didn't want to mess up the install. I wanted to install Windows 8 so I could play with the metro style app development that I've seen floating around and of course, I like my Linux system for my ruby web development . So - here's the rough steps without a specific walk through of each one, except for reinstalling grub, which is really the crucial step to getting everything to hum and purr along nicely. The caveat is that this worked for me, on my system, it might not work on yours - so take precautions, backup, verify backup, store a backup off-site - you know the drill, I shouldn't need to tell you.: 1) Install Windows 7 Easy enough, follow the prompts and pop Windows 7 on your machine. 2) Install Linux Choose your flavour - I've got Mint up and running, but go for Ubuntu if you prefer. Actually, go for pretty much whate...

Last time I did a quick RVM install guide for Linux Mint . This time I'm going to finish up by installing rails so we can rock some new development work. Nothing like a clean and humming system I tell you. Let's begin by making sure we have git - we are going to be using it anyway. Fire up your terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T) and type sudo apt-get install git Great - version control level unlocked. We should have rubygems installed already (if you followed along with the RVM install then this is all taken care of). Now, to make sure RVM functions well, see this https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ . Or, if you prefer, just move the commands from .bash_login to .bash_profile. As I understand it, and I'm no Linux guru, .bash_login doesn't run if .bash_profile is present. I'm going to create a gemset to install rails 3, just for fun...and just in case I want to go back and work on some legacy apps. rvm gemset create rails3.2 And set it so it is the default gems...
