Re: [Rails] Re: Newbie question - VirtualRails

i've been using virtual rails for about 10 days, and it's been a easy way to jump back into Rails development. Only thing that confused me in the beginning was the keyboard layout defaulted to French. no big deal, just a few minutes of work. Otherwise it's a great setup, and I really appreciate the work.

Hi Tino,

Thanks for using VirtualRails :)
you're right, there was a mistake in our documentation, now the Rails
version mentioned vor virtualrails 1.1 will be everywhere 2.3.4, and we
will soon release a new version with rails 2.3.5 rails.

with the actual 1.1 version, you can open a terminal and run the
following command :
sudo gem install rails --version 2.3.5

it works just fine, and you will have the followinf output :

virtualrails@jay ~ $ sudo gem install rails --version 2.3.5
[sudo] password for virtualrails:
