imbaProgramming: Installing Ruby on Rail on Centos 6 (64 bit) Virtual Machine

Ruby on Rails

Prerequisites

Ruby language version 1.9.3 or newer

The RubyGems packaging system

A working installation of the SQLite3 Database

On my development environment, I used centos 6 64 bit minimal (no GUI) operating system to run ruby on rails. I installed it on Oracle Virtualbox.

Step 1: Install the Ruby
Check the ruby version.

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# ruby -v
-bash: ruby: command not found

No found command means we have to intall ruby.
Install the wget command to download source files

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# yum install wget

Download rpm and update the system

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# cd /tmp/
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# yum -y update

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# yum -y install libxslt-devel libyaml-devel libxml2-devel gdbm-devel libffi-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel libyaml-devel readline-devel curl-devel openssl-devel pcre-devel git memcached-devel valgrind-devel mysql-devel ImageMagick-devel ImageMagick

Get the latest ruby version using wget command

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# cd /usr/src/
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.0/ruby-2.0.0-p353.tar.gz
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# tar zxvf ruby-2.0.0-p353.tar.gz
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# cd ruby-2.0.0-p353
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# ./configure
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# make
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# make install

Show the ruby version.

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22 revision 43784) [x86_64-linux]

Step 2: Install the Rubygems

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# cd /usr/src/
[root@centosAshley02 src]# wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-2.1.7.tgz
[root@centosAshley02 src]# tar zxvf rubygems-2.1.7.tgz
[root@centosAshley02 src]# cd rubygems-2.1.7
[root@centosAshley02 rubygems-2.1.7]# /usr/local/bin/ruby setup.rb

Check the rubygem installation, the back to parent directory

[root@centosAshley02 rubygems-2.1.7]# gem -v
2.1.7
[root@centosAshley02 rubygems-2.1.7]# cd

Step:3 Install Sqlite
If you don't have curl then execute the following

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# yum install curl

Install rvm

curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Source the file rvm.sh

source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

for me to check, I type.

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# rvm requirements
Checking requirements for centos.
Requirements installation successful.

Step 4: Sqlite

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# cd /opt/
[root@centosAshley02 opt]# wget http://www.sqlite.org/2013/sqlite-autoconf-3080100.tar.gz
[root@centosAshley02 opt]# tar xvzf sqlite-autoconf-3080100.tar.gz
[root@centosAshley02 opt]# ln -s /opt/sqlite-autoconf-3080100/ /opt/sqlite3
[root@centosAshley02 opt]# cd sqlite3/
[root@centosAshley02 opt]# ./configure --prefix=/opt/sqlite3

Configure the .bashrc

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# vi .bashrc

add on the .bashrc LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64 then source and test the varibale

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# source .bashrc
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib64
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then make and make install

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# cd /opt/sqlite3
[root@centosAshley02 sqlite3]# make
[root@centosAshley02 sqlite3]# make install

Test the sqlite,

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# mkdir -p /usr/local/sqlite/var
[root@centosAshley02 ~]# sqlite3 /usr/local/sqlite/var/testdb
SQLite version 3.6.20
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite>

Then .exit, for more info type .help
Step 5: Install the rails
This may take time. Please be patient.

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# gem install rails

Check the gems installed.

[root@centosAshley02 ~]# gem list
