Testing the binary download thingy for Linux.

Questions:

How do I change my browser preference?
How do I open a project? I see no such functionality. This is insane.

Issues:

It's not smart enough to know if rails isn't installed.
The splash screen overlays the opening workspace-selection dialogue.
Does not respect --help on the commandline.

Hello World ∞

Use rails to generate the project:

rails hello
cd hello
ruby script/generate controller Say

Edit app/controllers/say_controller.rb and inside the class, add the "controller":

def hello
end

Edit app/views/say/hello.rhtml and add the "view":

<html>

<body>

  hello world

</body>

</html>

Launch your project:

ruby script/server

Then visit: localhost:3000/hello

Rails Documentation and Help ∞

Built in:

rails project_name
ruby project_name/script/server

Then visit: localhost:3000 or 0.0.0.0:3000
