If you want to switch back to that version of ruby, you should comment out that line in `~/.bash_profile` again. == Installing Ruby == {{{ rbenv install 2.2.3 rbenv global 2.2.3 ruby -v }}} == Installing Rails == {{{ gem install rails -v 4.2.4 }}} To make sure that `rbenv` knows about the new version of rails you additionally need: {{{ rbenv rehash }}} === Problems === (TODO) There might be some problems related to installation of nokogiri. = Setting up the Database = #database TODO (see also [wiki:howto/MySQL MySQL HOWTO]) [wiki:howto <- Back to the HOWTO section] -------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<-------- -- Page URL: <https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/RubyOnRails> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X This is an automated message.
