| 3 | 2 | John Goerzen | It seems that the version of Rails in Debian does not play well with Redmine. We will therefore use Debian packages for the basic Ruby and rubygems infrastructure, but install the remaining parts in a local home directory. |

| 5 | 1 | John Goerzen | h2. Preparation |
| 6 | |||
| 7 | First, as root, run: |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | 3 | John Goerzen | <pre> |
| 10 | apt-get install ruby rake rubygems |
||
| 11 | </pre> |
||

| 13 | 2 | John Goerzen | h2. Configure your user environment |
| 14 | |||
| 15 | 1 | John Goerzen | As an individual user, edit your ~/.bashrc file and add a line such as this: |
| 16 | |||
| 17 | 3 | John Goerzen | <pre> |
| 18 | export GEM_PATH=$HOME/gems |
||
| 19 | </pre> |
||
| 20 | 1 | John Goerzen | |
| 21 | Log out and back on. Make sure your GEM_PATH is set: |
||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | 3 | John Goerzen | <pre> |
| 24 | echo $GEM_PATH |
||
| 25 | </pre> |
||
| 26 | 1 | John Goerzen | |
| 27 | And make the directory for the gems: |
||
| 28 | 2 | John Goerzen | |
| 29 | 3 | John Goerzen | <pre> |
| 30 | mkdir ~/gems |
||
| 31 | </pre> |

| 34 | |||
| 35 | 3 | John Goerzen | <pre> |
| 36 | gem install -i $GEM_PATH rails -y |
||
| 37 | </pre> |
||
