Deploy with Capistrano from Windows

Install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/)

• Select the folowing packages: curl, git, nano, openssh, openssl, ruby, unzip, util-linux, vim, wget

Download the RubyGems tarball from Ruby Forge (http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/)

• wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76072/rubygems-1.8.24.zip
• unzip rubygems-1.8.24.zip

In a bash terminal, navigate to the unpacked directory and run:

• ruby setup.rb install
• gem update —system

Install Capistrano

• gem install capistrano

And also could be useful

• gem install capistrano-ext (for instace for Multistage Deploys)
• gem install railsless-deploy

It helped me a lot! Thank you sir

This does not work for me because the only available ruby is 1.9 and it breaks my ruby 1.8 scripts.

doesnt work

Still works, but you can find the RubyGems tarball at https://rubygems.org/pages/download now.

googleando llegué a esto, después me di cuenta que era tuyo :P

Now I use Git Bash + ConEmu + RubyInstaller + DevKit + Capistrano 3... far better!

Thanks so much! Save my time.

Latest version and url for rubygems:

wget https://rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-2.6.1.zip
unzip rubygems-2.6.1.zip
cd rubygems-2.6.1/
ruby setup.rb install
gem update —system
gem install capistrano
gem install capistrano-ext
gem install railsless-deploy

Thank you very much!

Perfect!!

Peeps, I'm stuck where it cannot find the cap command. Any help is much appreciated!

PhillipHuynh:

Add the following line to ~/.bashrc (windows path "C:\cygwin\home\<USER>\.bashrc"):
PATH=$PATH:~/bin

Then run
source ~/.bashrc

Also, you might have to modify the following file:
~/.gem/ruby/gems/net-ssh-4.1.0/lib/net/ssh/authentication/pageant.rb
(windows path "C:\cygwin\home\<USER>\.gem\ruby\gems\net-ssh-4.1.0\lib\net\ssh\authentication\pageant.rb")

Replace all 'user32', 'kernel32' og 'advapi32' with 'user32.dll', 'kernel32.dll' og 'advapi32.dll' (line 46, 47, 48, 53 and 59).

@superoddy Thanks this worked!
