Rails Download Instructions Include Unnecessary Step for Ruby 1.9+
I originally posted this to Rails Talk; someone there suggested I move it here. The instructions here http://rubyonrails.org/download say: 1. Download + install Ruby. 2. Download + install gems. <- NB: Unnecessary for Ruby 1.9+ as it already includes RubyGems 3. gem install rails. Step 2 errored on my Win7 machine after installing Ruby 1.9.2 in step 1. Turns out it wasn''t necessary at all. I''d like to propose a change in the wording of step 2. It currently says:> RubyGems is the standard Ruby package manager. It''s similar to apt-get, emerge, and other OS package managers. > Download > (extract, then run "ruby setup.rb")I think it should say:> RubyGems is the standard Ruby package manager. It''s similar to apt-get, emerge, and other OS package managers. > RubyGems is included in Ruby 1.9 and higher. For other versions: > Download > (extract, then run "ruby setup.rb")-Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.

Re: Rails Download Instructions Include Unnecessary Step for Ruby 1.9+
Lori, whilst we appreciate the offer of jobs greatly, this is not the correct thread or even message board to post it into. Please do not hijack other people''s threads. You will have better luck by posting it to the http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk mailing list instead. -- Ryan Bigg On Wednesday, 19 January 2011 at 2:33 AM, Lori Kingman wrote:> I have about 75 Ruby Roles open in Washington DC and NYC if anyone is interested, please forward your resume or send me an email and I will forward the job description to you! > > Craig Stuntz wrote: > > I originally posted this to Rails Talk; someone there suggested I move it here.
