It appears in this Github https://github.com/railsinstaller/railsinstaller-nix that there is a way to install the same Railsinstaller from railsinstaller.org on Linux...
But I don't understand how to interpret these instructions, could somebody please help? I know it's not necessary but I enjoy learning by trying.

In your terminal type sudo curl -O https://raw.github.com/joshfng/railsready/master/railsready.sh && bash railsready.sh

2,430 PointsWell, I tried
curl -L https://raw.github.com/railsinstaller/railsinstaller-nix/master/prepare_local.sh | bash -s -- ~/projects ~/installbuilder
Then navigated to the directory and ran sudo ./prepare.sh and it did half of the setup but then came up with a bunch of errors at then end. Not sure if I was did something wrong. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04

2,430 PointsThanks! I'll take a look. Any idea why the railinstaller github won't install though? It says it should work both on OSX and Linux.
