vm-ubuntu-rails.sh

# Virtual Box Instructions
# --------------------------------

# 1. Install VirtualBox Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
# 2. Install deps for Guest Additions
sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

# 3. Install Guest Additions (from CD)
sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

# 3D support from this answer: http://askubuntu.com/a/214968
# I had the disappearing window problem, so I changed the order
# because installing stuff is hard when you can't see.

# 4. Add the vboxvideo driver to the instance by running:
sudo bash -c 'echo vboxvideo >> /etc/modules'

# 5. Install the CompizConfig Settings Manager:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

# 6. Shutdown VM, enable 3D

# Test Compat:
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p

# If disappearing windows, run CompizConfig Setting Manager,
# Under OpenGL, uncheck 'Framebuffer Object'
ccsm

# Poof, unity works. No need for restart.

# RVM & Ruby
# --------------------------------

# 1. Install Curl
sudo apt-get install curl

# 2. Install RVM (Ruby Version Manager)
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

# 3. Make sure .bash_profile is sourced in .bashrc
echo "source .bash_profile" >> .bashrc

# 4. Find out what RVM needs and install (this command gives directions)
rvm requirements

# I did:
# sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev libgdbm-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool bison subversion pkg-config libffi-dev

# Install latest patch-level of Ruby 2.0.0 & RubyGems
rvm install 2.0.0

# Install Rails
# --------------------------------

gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc

# If zlib errors, do:
# rvm pkg install zlib --verify-downloads 1

# then, Reinstall rubies
# rvm reinstall all --force

# Sanity check
rails -v

# Run this to integrate Bundler and RVM
chmod +x $rvm_path/hooks/after_cd_bundler
