upgrade to rails 4 and ruby 2
To upgrade your rails version to rails 4 is pretty easy just follow the below steps.
- I assume you have already rails installed in your system and also you are using rvm and ruby.- If you are not using rvm i recomend you to use rvm. please check the link for rvm (http://rvm.io/)
open a terminal and follow the steps.
Step 1:
rvm get head (to get the latest version of rvm)
Step 2:
rvm install 2.0.0 (to install ruby)
Step 3:
rvm use 2.0.0
Step 4:
rvm gemset create rails4
Step 5:
gem install rails
That's it to upgrade your rails version to rails 4 and ruby 2 in ubantu 12.04. Now if you run rails new new_app it will automatically create your rails application in rails 4 simple :)
Further if you want to use both rails 3 and and rails 4 you can create a .rvmrc file in your application and mention the gem set in that file.
echo "rvm ruby-1.8.7-p352@gemset" > .rvmrc
And inside the file mentioned your gem set. like
rvm use 2.0.0
rvm gemset use rails4
rvm use 2.0.0
rvm gemset use rails4

ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot time to run gem install rails, why is this so?
ReplyDelete@debadatta it will take some time as it will pull and install all the default gems with rails 4.
