To install Ruby and Rails on your Amazon EC2 server there are a few steps you need to follow, but none of them quite hard. By default ruby is already installed on your server by Amazon - check it by running $ ruby -v. | |
$ ruby -v | |
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [i386-linux] | |
For this tutorial I will not be using the Ruby Version Manager - RVM. It has the power to make it easier later to change ruby versions in a contained environment. | |
Download the RubyGems from RubyForge. The latest version at the moment is 1.8.11. | |
$ wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/75475/rubygems-1.8.11.tgz | |
Untar the file and switch to the rubygems folder. | |
$ tar -xzf rubygems-1.8.11.tgz | |
$ cd rubygems-1.8.11 | |
Now run the installation command for the RubyGems. | |
$ sudo ruby setup.rb | |
Test the installation. | |
$ gem -v | |
1.8.11 | |
Install the ruby developer packages and the make command. | |
$ sudo yum install ruby-devel | |
$ sudo yum install make | |
$ sudo yum install ruby-irb | |
Now install rails. This step took much longer than I expected in my Amazon EC2 Server. | |
$ sudo gem install rails |

This doesn't work. I just get this:
`ERROR: Error installing rails:
