Ruby on Rails environment (based on Win XP)
The setup of an ROR environment is relatively simple, but there are several small points to note, which may save your mind. 1. Install Ruby first. The current version is 1.8.6.
Download here, This is an EXE file. You can simply click Next. The default installation path is C:/Ruby. After the installation is complete, you can enter ruby-V under the command line to check whether the installation is complete. If "Ruby 1.8.6…" appears ......" 2. Install rails. This step is interesting. You can download it directly from the network through the command line (CMD. If you want to install rails in one step, you can use the gem install rails -- include-dependencies command, but it takes several minutes because it is running in the background. If you want to see which components are installed, you can directly use gem install rails, but this requires you to stay in front of the computer, because you need to enter a few y to complete; you can still use the rails-V command line to check whether the installation is successful, if "Rails 1.1.6" is displayed, it indicates OK; 3. do you know what to do? Download radrails. Like Eclipse, you can download and decompress the package directly without installation. Click
Download hereAccording to the network speed, it may take five or six minutes. I use the Dudu accelerator, which is relatively fast. 4. after decompressing radrails, click radrails "" to display the interface similar to eclipse. (install JDK or JRE above 1.4.2, because eclipse requires a Java environment );
Radrails parameter configuration
5. the following is the most important part of this article. It is also a problem for me when I started using radrails, that is, the configuration of radrails. Here I also use some pen and ink to introduce it. In fact, it mainly involves the configuration of parameters such as interpreter name, Ruby, rails, and rake. Interpreter first, In the radrails environment WINDOW> preferences> Ruby> installed interpreters, and then click the "add" button in the interpreter notebook file. For example, I am now "C: /Ruby/bin/ruby.exe "; the following is rails. In WINDOW> preferences> rails> Configuration, select the rails file under the directory in rails path. Note that it is not rails. CMD: if this file is selected, the operation is invalid. This may be a problem that many people are prone to. For rake, after you open the file selection box in the same place, select the rake binary file. bat is not a rake either. cmd. If the two files are selected, they are still ineffective. If the files are not found for a long time , Indicates that you have not installed it. You can use gem update rake to download it.
6. Well, let me save these settings and create a new file in radrails. For simplicity, click rails project in rails under File> New to create a project named demo, and set other settings as default. At this time, the server and related basic code radrails have been generated for you. There is a view named "servers" in the lower right corner. If there is no accident, there will be a record named "demoserver", which indicates that there is already a project demo, the port number is 3000, And the status is stopped. Click the green button in the upper-right corner of the view to start the server, and then enter http: // localhost: 3000 in the URL box in your IE browser or a blue ball next to the green button.
(If this error is prompted: no such file to load -- sqlite3 install sqlite3, use the command: Em install sqlite3-ruby in cmd and select the corresponding option)
7. I'm done. What happened? It's amazing ~~~ Welcome aboard.
The above is the simplest ror Application Based on radrails. We hope to bring you to the door of ROR and enjoy it. Good things are still coming soon :)
Radrails comments:So far, this tool can be said to be the best IDE for ror development on the Windows platform, but for those who are familiar with eclipse development of Java or other applications, one thing you can do is not get used to, that is, the function is not automatically completed, which requires you to remember a lot of methods. Although it is said that it is not easy to implement this function in the Dynamic Language IDE, since it is an IDE that developers like, I think this function is still indispensable. However, now, radrails is only a 0.7 version, and there is still a lot of space to move forward. Let's wait!
There is also a tool that can be used: netbeans ide 6.1 or rubyonrails development.
