Is it possible to run (develop and/or deploy) Rails applications without rubygems? To make a long story short, if I''m in an environment without ''net access and without rubygems, am I out of luck with respect to writing Ruby on Rails applications?

You might want to try installing rails on a machine with net access first just to get the list of all the gems you''ll need to actually get an instance up and running. -faisal --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: Rails without gems?
You could download instantrails, rather than downloading all the gems manually. Ok, it''ll include Apache and PHP which you might not need, but it''s quick and easy, and small enough to fit on a lot of portable media (such as a CD or USB pen). You can even run rails straight from the portable media that way, without even installing it on the target computer... there was a post about this a couple of months ago. -Nathan On 07/11/06, Faisal N Jawdat <faisal-yPPMdBsEuU/QT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > On Nov 6, 2006, at 12:29 PM, jmb-d wrote: > > Is it possible to run (develop and/or deploy) Rails applications > > without rubygems? > > Yes and no: you''ll need ruby gems to install the code, but you don''t > need use the ''gem'' tool hitting the rubygems server to do it. > > > To make a long story short, if I''m in an environment without ''net > > access and without rubygems, am I out of luck with respect to writing > > Ruby on Rails applications? > > If you can figure out what all the gems you need are, you can > manually download them (with a web browser or wget or what have you) > to local media, somehow get that onto a machine in the net-less > environment (burn a cd from a machine with net access?) and then > install there using the gem tool (which you''ll also need to have > grabbed beforehand). > > You might want to try installing rails on a machine with net access > first just to get the list of all the gems you''ll need to actually > get an instance up and running. > > -faisal > > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Sorry it''s taken so long to reply; it''s been busy here. I managed to convice the IT elves to obtain the One-Click-Installer for me, as well as the required gems for Rails. I then did a local gem install so am up and running now.
