Setup Rails on an Ubuntu Virtual Server
Here are the steps I took to get Rails working on an Ubuntu VirtualBox instance:
1. Software Versions
* Ubuntu 9.04 (I'm using xubuntu-9.04 and I assume Rails wouldn't care)
* Ruby 1.8.7
* Rails 2.3
* MySQL 5.x
2. Installing packages
$ sudo aptitude install rails
$ sudo aptitude install mysql-server
3. Updating RubyGems
RubyGems is a package management system (think Python Eggs/CPAN).
$ sudo gem update --system
