I''m trying to install rails without necessarily having a network connection. It''s a lengthy story but suffice it to say my work environment has very high walls. I have ruby installed. I have gem installed. I can''t install rails. I downloaded the rails-1.1.6.gem file but when I run gem install rails -l -y I get: rails requires activesupport = 1.3.1 um.. it''s in the package.. Am I better off just grabbing the .zip version of the rails package and installing it where? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

This my not be what you''re looking for, but, I usually use InstantRails. I download one file. Unzip it into a directory, and its ready to use. You can get it from RubyForge http://rubyforge.org/projects/instantrails -Cheers -Larry On 9/22/06, Tom Allison <tallison-dPKA337BxZXR7s880joybQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > > I''m trying to install rails without necessarily having a network > connection.

I''ve done this. basically I constructed the ruby folder on a machine with the internet - installed all the required gems etc. which included rails with all dependencies. Then I stripped out anything I didn''t want (size was an issue, it might not be in your case) and zipped up that whole folder. put it on a CD, (or USB drive, ruby is self contained so it can be portable). Now I can put it on a machine with no network just by unzipping the contents of the CD. The ruby I used was just the standard windows all in one installer.

You have downloaded rails-1.1.6.gem file, but have you downloaded activesupport-1.3.1.gem, activerecord-1.14.4.gem actionpack-1.12.5.gem, actionmailer-1.2.5.gem and actionwebservice-1.1.6.gem files ? (make sure you have rake 0.7.1 gem already installed) -- Jean-François. -- À la renverse. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
