Ruby installation version 1.8.7 & 1.9.1 on win32 platforms with rubyinstaller

Posted by superuser Fri, 26 Feb 2010 08:41:00 GMT

Luis Lavena and the rubyinstaller group have made 2 very reliable versions of Ruby programming language for Windows platforms.

Unlike the old ruby installer, the 1.8.7 and 1.9.1 versions have been compiled with the MinGW compiler(v. 3.4.5) toolset. Easy installing for Windows is essential for the future of Ruby in the programming jungle, and RubyInstaller works perfectly good.

This article should be intended as a minimal guide to install both Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 1.9.1 on win32 platforms.

• Uninstall any previous installed Ruby version and remove the relative folders (for ex. C:\Ruby and/or C:\Ruby19 )
• Install Ruby 1.8.7-p249
  • Accept the license (if you agree, of course)
  • Select the destination path of your installation. (i use the default C:\Ruby). Below, in the same window
  • Check the box Ruby executables to your PATH (IMPORTANT!) and “Associate .rb and .rbw files with this Ruby installation”
• Finish the installation

Ruby 1.8 is succesfully installed!

Now it’s time to install Ruby 1.9 .

• Install Ruby 1.9.1-p378
  • Accept the license
  • Select the destination path of your installation. (i use the default C:\Ruby19). Below, in the same window
  • DO NOT select anything . Leave both check boxs unchecked.
• Finish the installation

Ruby 1.9 is succesfully installed!

To run Ruby 1.9 binaries you have to use absolute paths. C:\Ruby19\bin\whatever. That’s not so pretty!
To resolve this, i use an easy and smart method found on some discussions at the rubyinstaller google group.

The idea is to put some .bat (windows) scripts in the bin directory of the Ruby 1.8 installation to call internally the Ruby 1.9 binaries. In this way you do not have to add the Ruby 1.9 directory in your PATH env. variable. For my needs this work perfectly good.

In detail:

• Download Ruby-Bat.rar . Unrar it. Move the five included .bat files (gem19.bat, irb19.bat, rake19.bat, ri19.bat, ruby19.bat) in your ruby-1.8 (not 1.9) installation directory (in my case this is C:\Ruby\bin).
  That’s all.

Open your command prompt and execute :

C:>irb19 
C:>gem19 install rack
C:>ri19 array
C:>rake19 -h

It works!

If you want to know more, open with your favorite editor for example rake19.bat to see what’s inside:

@echo off 
setlocal 
set PATH=C:\Ruby19\bin;%WINDIR%\system32;%WINDIR% 
ruby.exe -S rake %* 
endlocal 

If you need to make a custom ruby(v-1.9) binary just change the filename, substitute `rake` and save it in your ruby-1.8 (not 1.9) installation directory ( C:\Ruby\bin ). Not a perfect solution, but it just works as it should.

Create your blog with TYPO

Posted by superuser Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:43:00 GMT

a Ruby On Rails app

In this article you can find how to install & create your blog with Typo (v. 4.1.1) easily in a few steps. The only requirement is that you have already installed on your machine Ruby, Ruby on rails and some required gems by typo (mongrel, mysql, mysql, rcov, rspec, xmpp4r, flexmock, hoe, ruby-debug and ruby-debug-base). My local gem reports the following packages (with version):

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (1.3.6)
actionpack (1.13.6)
actionwebservice (1.2.6)
activerecord (1.15.6)
activeresource (2.1.0)
activesupport (1.4.4)
cgi_multipart_eof_fix (2.5.0)
cmdparse (2.0.2)
columnize (0.1)
daemons (1.0.10)
ezcrypto (0.7)
fastercsv (1.2.3)
fastthread (1.0.1)
flexmock (0.8.2)
gem_plugin (0.2.3)
highline (1.4.0)
hoe (1.5.3)
linecache (0.43)
mime-types (1.15)
mini_magick (1.2.3)
mongrel (1.1.5)

ruby-debug-base (0.10.1)
rubyforge (1.0.0)
rubygems-update (1.1.1)
sources (0.0.2)
xmpp4r (0.3.2)

Let's start building our Typo-4.1.1 blog:

$ fetch http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/20466/typo-4.1.1.tgz

$ cd my-rails-work-dir

$ tar -zxvf 	typo-4.1.1.tgz

$ mv typo-4.1.1 MyWonderfulBlog

$  cp database.yml.example database.yml 

production:
  adapter: mysql
  encoding: utf8
  database: wonderfulblog_prod
  username: safesql
  password: mysqlko9
  socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

$ mysqladmin -u root -p create wonderfulblog_prod
Enter password: [enter your mysql root password here]

$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is xxx
Server version: 5.0.51a FreeBSD port: mysql-server-5.0.51a

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> grant all privileges on wonderfulblog_prod.* to 'safesql'@'localhost' 
identified by 'mysqlko9';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)

mysql> \q
Bye

$ rake migrate  RAILS_ENV='production'

$  mongrel_rails start -d -p 8921  -e production

Open your browser and point to http://localhost:8921/admin . It's important to put a username & password in order to safe your blog. After that you can access the administration interface ( http://localhost:8921/admin ), and view the results in http://localhost:8921 .

In the next article i'll see you how i manage the interface. Until then have a good time!

Εγκατάσταση FreeBSD 6.2 (Πόρτες, προγράμματα)

Posted by superuser Mon, 09 Apr 2007 12:07:00 GMT

Μετά την επανακκίνηση κάντε login. Αν ακολουθήσατε κατά γράμμα τις συμβουλές μας τότε ο υπολογιστής σας δεν περιέχει κανένα πρόγραμμα. Για να βλέπετε οποισδήποτε στιγμή ποια προγράμματα είναι εγκατεστημένα δώστε:

$ pkg_info

Στην περίπτωση μας εμφανίζεται μόνο το

linux_base-fc-4_9   Base set of packages ...

Πρώτη εφαρογή που πρέπει να προσθέσουμε ειναι η συλλογή πορτών. Οι πόρτες στην FreeBSD είναι μια λίστα χιλιάδων εφαρμογών, προγραμμάτων που μας επιτρέπει να τα εγκαταστήσουμε άμεσα στον υπολογιστή μας. Δεν χρειάζεται καμμιά ιδιαίτερη ικανότητα προγραμματισμού για να κάνετε την εγκατάσταση.

Ας εγκαταστήσουμε την συλλογή πορτών (Collection Ports) από το Sysinstall (απλά και μόνο για να δείτε πως μπορούμε ανά πάσα στιγμή να δουλεύουμε και με αυτό το εργαλείο). Από το shell σαν root δίνω:

# /usr/sbin/sysinstall

Πηγαίνουμε στις πόρτες:

$ cd /usr/ports

# whereis gimp

gimp: /usr/ports/graphics/gimp

# cd /usr/ports/graphics/gimp

 # make install clean 

Επομένως για κάθε εφαρμογή που θέλω να εγκαταστήσω πηγαίνω στην πόρτα της (/usr/ports/...) και εκτελώ make install clean. Η εντολή make στην ουσία εκτελεί το αρχείο Makefile που περιέχεται στην directory της πόρτας. Μεταγλωττίζει (κάνει compile) τον πηγιαίο κώδικα και δημιουργεί το εκτελέσιμο πρόγραμμα. Η εντολή make install εγκαθιστά το πρόγραμμα στους τοπικούς φακέλους μας - συνήθως /usr/local/... - και η εντολή make clean σβήνει τους μεταφρασμένους κώδικες που δεν χρειάζονται πια αφού έχουν εγκατασταθεί το πρόγραμμα. Και όντως μπορείτε να εκτελέσετε μία-μία τις τρεις εντολές. Δείτε τα εγκατεστημένα πακέτα με

$ pkg_info

Re: Εγκατάσταση FreeBSD 6.2 (Πόρτες, προγράμματα) Αν ξεκινά κανονικά στο gnome δεν υπάρχει πρόβλημα με το xorg.conf. Προσπάθησε να δώσεις σαν root:

# echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc

# startx
