How to organize development and deployment on Ruby on Rails?

Question

linux

I have a work computer running Windows 7 64 bit and I have a VPS running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit (32 bit). I would like to develop my own Ruby on Rails project. There is no money to buy a mac right now.
Tell me: how can I organize development under Windows 7, and deploy it under Ubuntu? What IDE to use, what additional services to use? So, does anyone have any recommendations?
The server is running on Apache2, the database is MySQL

Answer 1

Personally, before buying a poppy, I used a Vagrant virtual machine
. In Windows, you need to install Ruby, then gem install vagrant, and install the virtual machine according to the guide from www.vagrantup.com
For those who have never used rails under Windows, the question may arise - "why not just not to use everything in Windows?" - and the answer to this question is performance. Rails on Windows are very slow, tests run for half a year, in addition, some gems are not put on Windows at all.
About the IDE - Sublime Text. I use it myself, my acquaintances use ruby. It has everything you need for development, and is not overloaded with functions. And everything else is put through packages.

Answer 2

yes, I agree IDE - Sublime is the best. For example, here is a good article about him: habrahabr.ru/post/154667
