🛤️ Ruby on Rails -

Running on Windows

Don't install Ruby on Rails on Windows, use a virtual machine. There are multiple Ruby gems that have poor Windows support as they are released, especially the ones that require building like nokogiri. It's just a lot less hassle if you use some Linux VM to run your Ruby environment.

1. Install Vagrant
2. Install VirtualBox
3. git clone https://github.com/rails/rails-dev-box.git
4. cd rails-dev-box
5. vagrant up
6. vagrant ssh
7. sudo chgrp -R vagrant /var/lib/gems /usr/local/bin
8. sudo chmod -R 0774 /var/lib/gems /usr/local/bin
9. gem install rails -no-ri --no-rdoc
10. cd /vagrant
11. rails new rallod
12. cd rallod
13. bin/rails server -b 0.0.0.0
14. Go to http://localhost:3000/ with your browser.

echo "web: bundle exec rails server -b 0.0.0.0" > Procfile
gem install foreman
foreman start

# add following to Gemfile
gem 'pg'

bundle install

# edit `config/database.yml`

sudo service postgresql restart

bundle exec rake db:create

bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:drop
bundle exec rake db:migrate

# test the database connection yourself
psql --username=rallod -p 5432 rallod_development
\conninfo

Use pgAdmin to inspect the database. Open the virtual machine and add port forwarding from 5432 to 5432. Download pgAdmin. Add new connection on pgAdmin: localhost:5432 rallod:rallod
