Install Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

1:Update package repository.

1 sudo apt-get update

2:Install git and Curl.

Git:是一个简单，快速，高效的版本控制系统。（对于安装ruby on rails 环境没有关系，只是为了在以后的开发过程中进行版本控制的时候使用。）

Curl:是一个根据web协议获取文件的简单命令行工具。

1 sudo apt-get install git
2 sudo apt-get install curl

3:Install RVM and Dependencies.

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

load the RVM：

1 source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Then install additional dependencies specified by the RVM

1 sudo apt-get -y install build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool bison subversion

4:Installing Javascript Runtime 参考：https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager

1 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
2 sudo apt-get update
3 sudo apt-get install nodejs

5:Install Ruby

1 rvm install 2.0.0

Then select the Ruby version you want to use

1 rvm use 2.0.0 --default

在此处出现如下问题：

 steven@ubuntu:/usr$ rvm use 2.0.0 --default 
 RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.  
 You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell.
 Sometimes it is required to use `/bin/bash --login` as the command.
 Please visit https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ for a example.

然后执行如下命令：

1 /bin/bash --login

解决此问题。

You can check the version of ruby

1 ruby -v

输出结果

 ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [i686-linux]

6：Install Rails

1 gem install rails
