Basic pre-requisites

• Some utilities:

sudo apt-get install vim tmux git curl

• Copy/paste from the command line:

echo "alias clipboard='xclip -sel clip'" >> ~/.bashrc

You can use rbenv OR RVM, they're mutually exclusive. Feel free to choose the one that fits your needs.

rbenv

cd
git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git .rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

ruby-build

mkdir -p ~/.rbenv/plugins
cd ~/.rbenv/plugins
git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

latest ruby (2.0.0-p247)

• Install the pre-requisites:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev

• Install the interpreter:

rbenv install 2.0.0-p247
rbenv global 2.0.0-p247
ruby -v

RVM

• install the pre-requisites:

sudo apt-get install build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool bison subversion pkg-config
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
exec $SHELL
rvm install ruby
rvm use ruby --default
ruby -v

• Don't require rdoc and ri when installing gems:

echo "gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc" > ~/.gemrc

• Install the latest rails (4.0.0):

gem i bundler rails

Janus (vim)

sudo apt-get install curl
curl -Lo- http://bit.ly/janus-bootstrap | bash

Git/Github configuration

git config --global user.name "Maurizio De Magnis"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | clipboard

• Add it to your GitHub ssh account page

• Test if it works:

ssh -T [email protected]

System dependencies for peculiar gems

• nokogiri: libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
• pg: postgresql libpq-dev
• rails related: nodejs
• mysql: mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev
• sqlite3: sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
• capybara-webkit: libqt4-dev g++

PostgreSQL setup

sudo -u postgres createuser olistik
sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# \password olistik
postgres=# create database myapp_development;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# grant all privileges on database myapp_development to olistik;

bundle exec rails dbconsole
# pass

Shared folder setup (virtualbox)

cd
pwd # /home/olistik
mkdir projects
id # uid=1000,gid=1000,...
sudo echo "projects /home/olistik/projects vboxsf uid=1000,gid=1000,rw 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
sudo mount projects

Nice writeup! Just did a similar setup this week. People may also find the following to be quite useful:

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo gem install capybara-webkit

sudo gem install curl
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
sudo gem install curb

Thank you! very useful..

Thank you! You just made my day. I so did not feel like setting up a new machine "real quick" and stumbled over your Gist. Very nice from A-Z.

@bol-masterchief I've updated that section adding your contribution :-)

Helpful notes, but a linux system is nothing without a good dose of blinkenlights...

sudo apt-get install gkrellm

Why install rbenv AND rvm? rbenv specifically states it's incompatible with rvm. source: https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv

@intel352: I've mentioned both because when I've created this document I was using rbenv and later I've switched to rvm.
These instructions are just a reference so that if you're going to install one them, you're covered ;-)

Is there any smooth way to install rubygems on rbenv? It seems rvm has but I prefer to use rbenv.. I'm not sure which one is better between apt-get install rubygems and wget rubygems.tgz on ubuntu(I'm using 12.04)

Sorry for my ignorance. I already have gem command except sudo gem because I installed rbenv without sudo.

Thank you for your instruction.

Thank you for writing this up, I can't tell you how many times I have already used this.

you should add curl to the basic pre-requisites :)

@abimaelmartell It's already present in the RVM section.
BTW I'm going to move it upwards since it's used in the Janus setup :-)

@sharms: I'm glad to hear it, I simply made it for myself but it turned out to be useful for others too :-)

also the latest ruby version is 1.9.3-p392

this is a great writeup. Thanks for posting.

@abimaelmartell I've updated the version numbering :-)
