How to set up Windows to develop a Ruby on Rails application?

Question

Ruby on Rails

What do I need to install to develop a Rails application on Windows?

Answer 1

yes, nothing complicated in general, it’s better to have a mac, of course, but if you don’t have it, then download it from here http://railsinstaller.org/ru-RU , it installs everything by itself without problems, then you still need to http://maxopka.su/2013/ 08/04/ruby-rmagick-%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%BC-windows-7/ in order to be able to work with images normally, there is still some bootstrap stuff in the 'anjlab-bootstrap-rails' gem file . . and also a good semi-book http://railstutorial.ru/, a bit old already, but if you google it normally, you can adapt the application, you still need a mad desire to write on rails, knowledge of English in order to competently ask questions on http://stackoverflow.com/ because on toster.ru, knowledgeable people caught the star of the campaign, and they answer only sucks like @umarov

Answer 2

Linux virtual machine. Ruby is not sharpened under Windows as carefully as under Linux. To be honest, I'm even a little happy about it.

Answer 3

Better Vagrant and download the ready-made ubuntu image,

Answer 4

Windows is the system of choice for developing Rails applications.
However, it is worth noting that Rails is used to build server applications (and servers are mostly nix systems).
The best option: Keep the project on the server (in the same virtual machine with ubuntu and others like it), and develop in a convenient windows environment.
The main thing is to deal with the libv8 problem =)

Answer 5

RoR developers seem to have gathered here, so I take this opportunity and ask for advice:
Where is the best place to start learning to understand RoR: http://railstutorial.ru/ , http://rusrails.ru/ , "Agile web application development" or maybe something -something else?

Answer 6

Start with the first one, and after you have read at least half of it, start your educational project on a topic that interests you (I once remade an old online game database from php (kohana) to Rails). That's when you already need Rusrails.ru
Get ready for the fact that you will not once, not twice, start the project to rewrite from scratch.
