Installing SproutCore 1.0 in Virtual Enviroment

Tested on Windows 7 with vmware 7.0  and Ubuntu 9.10 as the virtual enviroment.

First you need to have ruby and ruby gems installed on your system 1.8 or higher , 1.8 was tested and works fine

 

sudo apt-get install ruby 

sudo apt-get install rubygems1.8 

sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev

 

To install SproutCore 1.0 just type the following into the command-line:

sudo gem install sproutcore

If everything goes well then you just have to redefine the gem path

PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin

export PATH

If you get an error on installing sproutcore, you probably need to update all packages:

sudo apt-get update

and then install g++:

sudo apt-get install g++

After g++ was installed, you should try again to install sproutcore gem (as you saw above). And don't forget about paths!

Now that you have SproutCore 1.0 installed, here are a few commands to get you going:

sc-init HelloWorld 

cd hello_world 

sc-server
