Installing Rails on Mountain Lion
- by Jordan Medlock
I was wondering if you could help me find why I cannot install Ruby on Rails on my MBP with OS X Mountain Lion. It's a weird problem and I'll give you as much info as I can.
I've installed ruby and it's working at version 1.9.3
And I've installed ruby gems and it's worked for every other gem I've tried to install.
It's version is 1.8.24
When I run $ sudo gem install rails it replies with the message: Successfully installed rails-3.2.8
1 gem installed
Although when I ask it rails -v it returns:
`Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type:
$ sudo gem install rails
You can then rerun your "rails" command.`
What should I do?
The rails bash file (/usr/bin/rails) contains:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
# Stub rails command to load rails from Gems or print an error if not installed.
require 'rubygems'
version = ">= 0"
if ARGV.first =~ /^_(.*)_$/ and Gem::Version.correct? $1 then
version = $1
ARGV.shift
end
begin
gem 'railties', version or raise
rescue Exception
puts 'Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type:'
puts
puts ' $ sudo gem install rails'
puts
puts 'You can then rerun your "rails" command.'
exit 0
end
load Gem.bin_path('railties', 'rails', version)
That must mean that the gem files aren't there or are old or corrupted
How can I check that?
