Ruby and rails are successfully installed under Fedora8.

First, we will introduce the environment I use. My Linux is installed on a virtual machine, VMwareWorkstation5.5, and the installation is Fedora8. The iso file of Fedora contains the ruby rpm package, but the rpm package that comes with it cannot meet our needs for installing Rails.

First, let me introduce the environment I use. I installed my Linux system on a virtual machine, VMware Workstation 5.5, and Fedora 8. The iso file of Fedora contains the ruby rpm package, but the rpm package that comes with it cannot meet our needs for installing Rails. Therefore, we need to download the ruby installation package from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/. the downloaded source code is 1.8.6. Decompress the package and run the tar command to decompress the package.

Tar xvf file name

After decompression, there will be an additional ruby-1.8.6 directory under the current directory, which is the ruby source file. Of course, you need to compile and then install it. Run the cd command to enter the directory.

Cd ruby-1.8.6

After entering the ruby-1.8.6 directory, you can perform the following steps to install it:

1. Enter./configure in the terminal, and press enter to wait.
2. Execute the make command, enter make in the terminal, and press enter to wait.
3. test whether the make command is successfully executed. Enter make test on the terminal. If successful is displayed, the make command is successfully executed.
4. Enter the make install-all command in the terminal to install ruby
