Currently there are only a few Linux distro’s that are officially supporting Gnome-shell. So naturally I had to make a transition from ubuntu which has been very good to me to Opensuse which has been a stable distribution. Since my main use for linux was ruby development i needed to recreate my build enviroment. Below are the commands I used to install RVM, Ruby and Rails 3.
From your linux console run these commands:
- sudo su –
- zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/ruby:/extensions/openSUSE_11.4 rubygems
- zypper update
- zypper install sqlite3 sqlite3-devel curl git-core
- exit
- bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)
- cd ~
- vi .bashrc
Insert the following code to the last line of your .bashrc file then save your changes
$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm” ]] && . “$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm”
Restart(close and open) a new console window and continue running these commands
- rvm install 1.8.7
- rvm install 1.9.2
- rvm —default 1.9.2
- rvm use 1.9.2
- ruby -v
- gem update —system
- gem install rails
