Configuration Prerequisites

Install Ruby

Rails and MySQL are the most popular requirements.

Secondly

Install Gems Package

The list is as follows:

1. Zentest

2. Ruby-debug

3. Piston

4. Hpricot

In fact, these packages are all integrated under the gems of the vendor. It's a pretty shiny way to do it. Treat gem like treat plugin, do not gems put under vendor Gems

The installation is as follows:

Ruby Code

  Rake Gems         # This could give for you some errors

  ... Rake Gems:build   # If there are gems that aren ' t installed or your got that big error ...

  Rake Gems:install # If there were gems that are still missing ...

Configuration database

Copy config/database.yml

Configure the demo development and Master_database databases as needed
