Rails.MN Tutorial

Welcome to the Rails.MN Tutorial of Ruby on Racetracks! Although the Rails.MN group is dedicated to Ruby on Rails, the web site is static and uses Ruby's Jekyll tool instead of Rails.

Prerequisites

  • You should have version 4 of SparkyLinux installed as your host OS or virtual OS. You may also use any other Linux distro based on Debian Stretch. If you are using a Mac or Windows, you can use a VirtualBox virtual machine with SparkyLinux on it. For more details, go through the VirtualBox Tutorial.
  • You should have Docker installed in your SparkyLinux desktop Linux setup. This is covered in chapter 1 of the Docker Tutorial.
  • You should be familiar with the Docker way of developing in Jekyll. This is covered in the Docker tutorial.
  • You should have an account on GitHub.
