Get started with Ruby
To get started, we suggest the following steps:
Step 1: Create a new Rails application
To create a new Rails application, initialize a new project as below. Remember to replace the APPNAME placeholder with the actual name of your project.
$ rails new APPNAME
For more information, refer to these instructions.
Step 2: Install gems
You might need to install gems for your project. You can do this easily with the gem install command. For example, run the following command to install Rake:
$ sudo gem install rake
For more information, refer to these instructions.
Step 3: Deploy your Rails application
To deploy your application, start the Rails server by running the following command:
$ bundle exec rails s
This will start the Rails server for your application on port 3000. Find more information about how to access the application using your Web browser.
For a production environment, we recommend configuring Apache or Nginx with Passenger before starting to serve your application. For more information, refer to these instructions.
