I just started working with a new stack today and it involves a lot of techs that I have never worked with (Ruby, Rails).
I was having a hard time to create a new project with Rails 6.x mostly because the Ruby
installed in my Ubuntu via apt-get
was pointing to version 2.4.5
.
I needed something newer ... And snapd
was there to rescue me.
By running:
gustavo@bulls:~$ snap install ruby
and
gustavo@bulls:~$ ruby -v
ruby 2.7.1p83 (2020-03-31 revision a0c7c23c9c) [x86_64-linux]
I finally got the newest version of Ruby and could finally do:
gustavo@bulls:~$ gem install rails
...
gustavo@bulls:~$ rails -v
Rails 6.0.3.1
Thank you snap
. Well, here are some advantages of using ruby
with snap
:
- Keep
ruby
andrail
in a separate sandbox preserving your OS packages. - You can always get the latest version even if your OS do not provide them (don't be angry
Arch Users
) - Easy to install/remove without breaking anything :)
Well, here is the blog post from Ruby blog!
Any other tips for today guys?
