My Ruby-on-Rails development environment

Installing Rails

#The "official" way on gorails has issues if Ruby is already installed.  So, use the rvm method

mkdir ruby-dev && cd ruby-dev

sudo bash -c "apt update"
sudo bash -c "apt install gnupg2"

ln -s /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver /usr/local/bin
gpg2 --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm  #whenver we want to work with rails or rubygems, we'll need to start from here
rvm install 2.5.0
rvm use 2.5.0 --default
ruby -v  #note, if you aren't sure you are running within rvm instead of /usr/bin, execute 'which ruby' to see
gem install bundler
gem install rails -v 5.1.4
rails -v

################################## OTHER TEXT EDITORS (OPTIONAL INSTALLS) ##########################
# I favor using the Xed text editor (with side pane) and a couple of open command windows open.  It has
# syntax highlighting for many languages so that's pretty much all I need.  I love what Atom provides out
# due to my years of using Visual Studio I'm finding have less need for IDE like features.
# However, these are all the other options I looked at.

# OPTION 1 - Atom, lightweight but powerful code editor
wget https://atom.io/download/deb -O atom-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i atom-amd64.deb
sudo apt install -f
gem install rsense                        #for auto-complete package to work in Atom
apm install platformio-ide-terminal       #for terminal window in Atom.  Open with [CTRL] + `

# OPTION 2 - Edgecase's VIM config just in case you like usig VIM (Atom is over kill for simple scripts)
git clone [email protected]:edgecase/vim-config.git
cd vim-config
rake               #this may take a while to complete
vim                
:NeoBundleClean    #if you have previously used this EdgeCase Vim config)
:NeoBundleInstall  #this may take a while to complete as well

# OPTION 2 - Alternatively, Aptana Studio as an IDE
# wget https://github.com/aptana/studio3/releases/download/v3.6.1/Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_Linux_x86_64_3.6.1.zip
# sudo unzip Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_Linux_x86_64_*.zip -d /opt
# sudo chown -R root:root /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/
# sudo ln -s /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3 /usr/local/bin/AptanaStudio3
