I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04 after the upgrade package broke my last install. I've been following this walkthrough to restore Rails and continue working on my existing projects. I've already installed rvm, all the packages listed by rvm requirements, and all my development tools (e.g., vim, git, etc.).
However, I get stuck on the rails command, whether I'm trying rails (n,s,g), and returns the error message
$ rails
The program 'rails' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install rails
I've already done the following:
$ gem install rails
Successfully installed rails-3.2.3
1 gem installed
But based on the following checks, it still hasn't installed.
$ which gem
/home/eyoung/.rvm/bin/gem
$ which ruby
/home/eyoung/.rvm/bin/ruby
$ which rails
(no output)
I'm at my wit's end; any ideas on what's going on?
Extra details:
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64
Packages: RVM installed Ruby 1.9.3p194 w/ openssl & Rubygems
ruby and gem are on the system $PATH
EDIT: By request,
$ gem list rails
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
rails (3.2.3)
As rails gem was installed and all the other paths look correct, you need to set rvm to use that ruby as your default version. It will set all the paths correctly so you can use your gems and rails command.
rvm use 1.9.3 --default
I updated to 12.04 as well, and ran into the issue as well. After quite a bit of head scratching, I decided to reinstall rvm.
Referencing a previous question.

I have a friend's website code, which is in Ruby on Rails.
I have tried to install RoR on my Mac using instructions at gorails.com
OS : Mac Mojave
ruby -v : ruby 2.2.3p173 (2015-08-18 revision 51636) [x86_64-darwin18]
rails -v :
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems.rb:241:in `bin_path': can't find gem railties (>= 0.a) (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
from /usr/local/bin/rails:22:in `<main>'
What I tried : I installed ruby, and then rails, using gorails tutorial, and kept getting errors stating version number mismatch.
Keep in mind that creating a new app, worked, but trying to run this existing code is a problem.
So then I uninstalled everything and updated the version using rvm, and since then I am getting this error.
When I cd into the webapp folder and run bundle install, I get errors, such as:
zsh: /Users/abc/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.3#hs/bin/bundle: bad interpreter: /Users/abc/.rbenv/versions/2.5.3/bin/ruby: no such file or directory
Could not load OpenSSL.
You must recompile Ruby with OpenSSL support or change the sources in your
Gemfile from 'https' to 'http'. Instructions for compiling with OpenSSL using
RVM are available at rvm.io/packages/openssl.
This project uses a PostgreSQL database, which I have setup already.
If required, I can share the gemfile of this project too.
What is the best way to get this project working?
Am I missing something crucial?
You can't run RVM and RBENV on the same machine. Pick one and remove the other. You're probably best to uninstall both and then pick one, start over.
Uninstall RBENV instructions here or in your case probably brew uninstall rbenv
Uninstall RVM see How can I remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system?
Close all terminals and then start a new one.
Install RVM see https://rvm.io/rvm/install
Then go to your project, make sure you have the correct ruby version needed by your project. If not, you will need to install with rvm install 2.5.1 for example.
Then run
rvm use 2.5.1 #or some other version
Then you should be able to run bundle install
The rest of the instructions in your link should be ok.
I recently started learning Rails using Ruby 1.9.3p385, and I'm trying to develop a small project with it.
I'm using Linux so I installed Ruby using RVM.
I developed a few pages, following some tutorials. I would like to upgrade my project to use Ruby 2.0.0. What do I have to do?
I installed Ruby 2.0.0 with RVM:
rvm install 2.0.0
Everything seems OK, so I tried to use it:
rvm use 2.0.0-p247
But when I try to run my Rails server using rails server, I get the following message:
bash: rails : command not found
I've read the RVM documentation about upgrading Ruby but I don't really understand what it does; I'm afraid of breaking everything.
Does it will upgrade my project in a way it will use Ruby 2.0.0 or what should I do?
Next, I will want to upgrade also to Rails v4.
Your gemset which comes with new Ruby version is empty. Try this:
gem install bundler # this will install bundler
bundle # this will use bundler to install required gems
rails server
Did you run rvm use 2.0.0-p247 or did you use rvm use 2.0.0-p247 --default? The later will set Ruby v.2.0 as the default for your system. Failure to do that will revert your Ruby to whatever RVM's default is the next time you log into your system or open a new terminal window.
When RVM installs a new version of Ruby, it installs only the default gems. It CAN upgrade a Ruby to another version, and optionally install the existing gems as it does so, but that's not what you asked it to do: rvm install 2.0.0 only installs Ruby. At that point you have to install the other gems you need, which would include Rails.
My general practice when installing various versions of Ruby and the gems I like is to use two command-line pipes to dump my existing gems, then (re)install them. First I switch to an existing Ruby whose gems I want to duplicate, then run:
gem list | cut -f1 -d' ' > ~/gem_list
Then I switch to the newly installed one, and run this:
xargs gem install < ~/gem_list
This does a completely clean install of the gems, outside of RVM's commands.
Why? Habit. Paranoia based on some "experiences" I had in the past with RVM.
Once that's all done and I have brand-spanking-new Ruby and gems, I'll proceed with running bundler or other housekeeping chores.
when you install a new ruby version, you have to reinstall all the gems for that version. start of by installing bundler first. Then run bundle in your rails root directory. When you encounter no errors, you're good to start the rails server. Good luck!
run bundle install on the application root, you need to reinstall all your dependencies for the new version of Ruby.
I had already installed rails 1.8.7, forgot about it, then installed 1.9.3 through RVM. I was getting weird errors, so I purged my Mac of the system version of Ruby and started again using RVM. So far I've
Installed Ruby:
rvm reinstall 1.9.3-p0
which ruby
/Users/User/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p0/bin/ruby
Manually setup Rubygems
which gem
/Users/User/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p0/bin/gem
Tried to install rails
sudo gem install rails
Successfully installed rails-3.2.1
1 gem installed
gem list
rails (3.2.1, 3.2.0)
It says rails is installed, but which gem does not work, and when I try to use rails new I get:
-bash: rails: command not found
I'm definitely missing something here. The only explanation I can think of is that there are remnants of a previous ruby or rails install that's causing problems. Is there a way to start completely from scratch?
If you are using RVM, you should not use "sudo" when you install gems. That will install gems to your system ruby version (not on the RVM rubies).
First, set up default rvm ruby like
rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p0 --default
Then, install rails on it by running:
gem install rails -v=3.2.1
It's actually better to use gemsets so you can have different gems set for the same ruby version. Check here for more info.
I am trying to install Ruby, RubyGems, and the Ruby on Rails framework so that it will play nicely with my system. I am having issues with my installation. Could somebody help me? Here are the details of my system and how I went about installation.
Currently I am running ubuntu 10.10 using the Linux Kernel 2.6.35-28-generic. My server is Apache 2.2.16 and I use MySQL 5.1.49.
So, I went to my synaptic package manager and selected the following packages to download:
* ruby1.8 – installs Ruby 1.8.4
* libmysql-ruby – additional libraries to access MySQL
* libruby1.8-dbg – debugging library
* ri – Ruby Interactive Reference
* ruby1.8-dev – header files for building extensions
* rails – Ruby On Rails framework
Once that ran successfully, I downloaded rubygems from http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/. Then I unpacked it, got in the terminal, ran a cd to get in the directory of the newly downloaded rubygems directory, and typed 'sudo ruby setup.rb' That ran with no problem and RubyGems 1.8.5 was installed. Then I ran 'sudo gem install rubygems-update' with no problem.
But when I ran 'sudo gem install rails –include-dependencies' I got the following output:
Fetching: activesupport-3.0.8.gem (100%)
Fetching: rails-3.0.8.gem (100%)
Successfully installed activesupport-3.0.8
Successfully installed rails-3.0.8
2 gems installed
Installing ri documentation for activesupport-3.0.8...
Installing ri documentation for rails-3.0.8...
File not found: lib
ERROR: While generating documentation for rails-3.0.8
... MESSAGE: exit
... RDOC args: --ri --op /var/www/testingwww/rubygems-1.8.5/nclude-dependencies/doc/rails-3.0.8/ri lib --title rails-3.0.8 Documentation --quiet
When I run 'rails -v' I get 'Rails 3.0.8' so it seems to have installed despite the error. But when I try to make a rails app by typing 'rails ./helloWorld' I get the manual page for the rails keyword.
I have looked around for two days now on how to fix this issue, but can't seem to figure it out. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Rails 3 requires version 1.8.7 or 1.9.2.
I'd recommend using RVM to manage your Ruby installation and environments. It will really help to get you going quickly and is simple. It's as simple as
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash
to install RVM and then rvm install 1.9.2 will get you going.
Have a look at https://rvm.io for more information.
In addition to Matthew's good Answer, I don't know why you're doing rails ./helloWorld. To generate a new app in Rails 3, you should do rails new helloWorld.
If you need a complete guide to getting rolling with Rails under Ubuntu, you can find a short guide here: http://blog.dcxn.com/2011/06/21/rolling-with-rails-3-on-ubuntu-11-04/
The gist is:
Install RVM (The Ruby version manager)
Install Rails from gem
Get going with Rails
It's a simple process but there are a few things you need to do for it to be completely smooth like making sure you have the pre-requisites for rvm installed via apt before install rvm.
Good luck!
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and I installed Ruby and Ruby on Rails following the directions on this site. The exact directions I followed are no longer there as it appears the rubyonrails.org wiki has changed recently. But I installed it the long way. Installed Ruby, then Gems, then installed Rails using "gem install rails".
I haven't really messed with Rails for a while, and I tried to use the Gem command today and...
The program 'gem' can be found in the following packages:
* rubygems1.8
* rubygems1.9
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
bash: gem: command not found
That's just weird to me because I installed rails using the gem command. I have been seaching my computer for the gems binary so I could create a link to it in the bin directory but I can't find it. I know it's installed becaues when I run 'script/server' and go to localhost:3000 in a browser I get the following version information:
Ruby version 1.8.7 (i486-linux)
RubyGems version 1.3.1
Rails version 2.2.2
Active Record version 2.2.2
Action Pack version 2.2.2
Active Resource version 2.2.2
Action Mailer version 2.2.2
Active Support version 2.2.2
Anyone know how I can get my gem command working again? Thanks for any help.
Note: I am new to Rails and fairly new to Ubuntu and Linux in general.
Did you install rubygems from apt-get? If yes, maybe you should try to remove it and install it from source.
Here is another article on installing Rails on Ubuntu:
http://www.rubyinside.com/how-to-install-a-ruby-18-stack-on-ubuntu-810-from-scratch-1566.html
Essentially, you can install Ruby from apt-get or source, but it's recommended to install rubygems from source.
You could look to see if it's in:
/usr/bin/gem1.8
if it is, then symlink /usr/bin/gem to it:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem
BTW, here's another tutorial on how to install rails on Ubuntu 8.10:
