I'm using SASS in my application and i'm in the process of migrating to Azure.
I've got my project setup but it's not compiling the SASS. I'm trying to use the Ruby Installer from here http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ (Ruby 1.9.3-p551) and I've uploaded this via FTP to D:/home however when I try to install it simply using the command rubyinstaller-1.9.3-p551.exe it doesn't do anything. No error message or anything either.
Any suggestions?
Using the installer won't work because it probably requires an interactive session. What I did was get the Ruby binaries and FTP those to the website. You can find the binaries as as 7zip file on Ruby download page. I followed along this post: Installing Ruby 1.8.7 (and other stuff) manually. The part about zlib is probably outdated because there is a corresponding dll in the zipped archive already. I did download the other mentioned dll though (the iconv dll) and placed it in the Ruby bin folder.
Gem is already bundled in the package so no need to install that separately.
Unfortunately now I'm having difficulties in getting the gulp task to work because it is still saying "ruby and compass must be installed and in path". I set the path in the gulpfile.
You no longer need to depend on Ruby to compile your SASS.
LIBSASS has 100% parity with RUBY SASS, and doesn't come with the Ruby dependency.
If you're using grunt, you can switch over to LIBSASS by editing your gruntfile.js to use
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sass');
instead of
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
You should also update your package.json file accordingly.
You can then get Azure to execute your grunt tasks as explained in this answer.

I didn't get any windows installer to install ruby 2.1.2. The only resource I found is a tar/zip file that is available at https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/.
I have no idea how to install this , anyone provide some suggestions how to install 2.1.2 version of ruby.
I have been able to crack the zlib nut (for Windows 8.1 -- see below), but I'm still struggling with openssl, readline, etc... I find it amazing that this documentation does not seem to be easily found, and that some experts/respondents advise using the 2.0 installer without considering that users are fighting this fight because we need the 2.1.2 functionality.
I downloaded zlib128-dll.zip from http://zlib.net and unzipped the contents to a directory (e.g., c:\zlib).
Then following some hints from this post (https://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/4421852), I created these dirs off of my c:\ruby-build\usr directory:
zlib
zlib\include
zlib\lib
Then I copied some files from my C:\zlib directories to my c:\ruby-build\usr directories:
*.h files (both) from C:\zlib\include to c:\ruby-build\usr\zlib\include
zdll.lib from C:\zlib\lib to c:\ruby-build\usr\zlib\lib.
zlib1.dll *AS* zlib.dll from C:\zlib to both c:\ruby-build\usr\zlib\lib and c:\ruby-build\usr\bin
(not sure which one or both are necessary).
Then from a VS 2012 Native Tools Command Window, I naviagted to C:\ruby-2.1.2\ext\zlib and executed:
\ruby-build\usr\bin\ruby extconf.rb --with-zlib-dir=c:/ruby-build/usr/zlib
Then nmake, followed by nmake install, and voila, I zlib was finally installed.
Let me know if you any questions about my steps.
The project Ruby Installer has published Ruby 2.1.3 for Windows (32 and 64 bits versions) on their download page:
http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
You will also find there a new build for Ruby 2.0 (p576).
Although they didn´t updated their news page yet.
The standard way to install Ruby on Windows is with Ruby Installer. However, due to some bugs/regressions in Ruby, there has been some hold up creating an installer for Ruby 2.1 on Windows. To get Ruby 2.1 on Windows, you'll likely have to compile from source.
That's a good question. It seems that 2.1.2 is not easily available on bitnami or ruby installer.
Check this out.
If it's not worth the pain or if you don't explicitly need the features of 2.1.2, I would recommend just installing 2.0.x's stable release.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
I am using the SCSS-Editor for Netbeans on Windows so that I can edit and compile SCSS files in my projects. SCSS-Editor uses a bundled install of SASS/JRuby, although there is an option to use an external one (I'd prefer not to install the whole Ruby environment just for compiling SCSS files so the bundled one seemed ideal).
For the most part this works fine and I am enjoying using SCSS in my latest project. However, it seems some features of the language (i.e. the %class-name extends) may be unavailable to me due to the bundled SASS being an old version (3.1.20).
I've had a go in the command line (running as admin), but it isn't responding (cursor just there like it expects more). How can I go about updating the bundled SASS install that Netbean's JRuby is using?
Or is there an alternative solution (apart from installing Ruby or using ScoutApp)?
Many thanks
I've done this, but I should add as a disclaimer that I haven't conducted any thorough testing. That said, what I've done seems to work okay.
The "External Runtime" setting is just for the SASS runtime; the embedded JRuby version is still used so there's no messing around with Ruby installation. If you go to the SASS code archive on RubyForge and download and extract the latest tar version (stable is currently 3.2.9) to some appropriate folder, that folder is then suitable for the Sass plugin's "External Sass runtime" location.
The setting (I know you're aware of this, but just to make the answer complete) is in Tools->Options->Misc->Scss and put the folder you created into the SASS/HAML home box which appears when you select External Sass Runtime.
Obviously, there is potential for problems with new SASS on old JRuby and even new SASS on old SCSS-Editor, but my projects seem to compile okay.
I am trying to install an external dependency into Python for TideSDK. The current module I am trying to install is redis-py.
To install it I tried the following steps:
Open Command Prompt in regular administrative mode
Change directory to the downloaded module of redis-py
Provide the path to the python module used by TideSDK followed by the standard compile and install from source command prompt. The command I used: "C:\Program Files (x8
6)\TideSDK Developer\modules\python\1.3.1-beta\python.exe" setup.py install
The setup looked very promising. The redis-py module with egg file is confirmed to be installed by both the installer with exited with no errors and with a visual check on the directory.
So what gives? The correct files are installed in Lib/site-packages. TideSDK gives me ImportError: No module named redis. Any suggestions?
I solved it for another module: simplejson.
I guess the workaround should work for any module of this kind.
BTW, simplejson may be used to support json, as the actual version (TideSDK 1.3.1-beta) comes with Python 2.5 which doesn't support the standard json module, it comes in Python 2.6 (or higher).
First, the path you are using is for "TideSDK Developer", that's the program to launch and build apps. It happens that "TideSDK Developer" is built using TideSDK, so the structure is the same.
C:\Program Files (x8 6)\TideSDK
Developer\modules\python\1.3.1-beta\python.exe
The path that TideSDK actually uses to launch and compile apps is inside "C:\ProgramData"
In my case, it's:
C:\ProgramData\TideSDK\modules\win32\python\1.3.1-beta\python.exe
So, this is what I did, I ran:
C:\ProgramData\TideSDK\modules\win32\python\1.3.1-beta\python.exe setup.py install
That "installs" the module, but installs it inside "site-packages". So, when I launched the app I got the same error ("no module named simplejson"), I then copied the module from inside "site-packages" to outside.
I copied from:
C:\ProgramData\TideSDK\modules\win32\python\1.3.1-beta\Lib\site-packages\simplejson
to:
C:\ProgramData\TideSDK\modules\win32\python\1.3.1-beta\Lib\simplejson
And that's it. That worked for me.
In summary: Go to ProgramData, install with python and copy the folder installed inside site-packages.
I am using svn_wc.
It gives err as no such file to load -- svn/core (LoadError)
what to do?
The above answer is a link only answer and can become useless when the link is dead. Dumping the link contents here -
SVN 1.5.1 / Ruby bindings on Windows
Rather than messing around with compiling swig bindings etc:
Download the ruby bindings from the svn site: (http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/43245/svn-win32-1.5.1_rb.zip)
From the zip - copy ruby\lib\svn into c:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\svn
From the zip – copy ruby\ext\svn\ext into c:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\svn\ext
copy libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll from your subversion 1.5 directory into c:\ruby\bin
run irb and test with: require ‘svn/core’
Where can I find updated binaries? I've looked around on the
Subversion site, but there seems to be no link.
They are available on the subversion site here: svn-win32-1.5.5_rb.zip
If you go to the subversion site and select windows binaries for
apache 2.2 you will see the list.
I just over-wrote the two DLL files (libeay32 and ssleay32) that came
with my ruby 1.8.6 installation with the two that came with my svn
1.5.5 installation. (Yes, I saved the originals.)This was necessary to passing the "require 'svn/core'" test, but is this likely to have
broken something within ruby?
Hey Ramon, i'd hope not but you never know :) The dll's are OpenSSL
libraries so if you see any weird behaviour when using any ssl related
functionality in ruby, that'd probably be the culprit
Ruby can't find svn/core in your installation, if you look at the github page for svn_wc the requirements are listed as:
Requires that the Subversion (SWIG) Ruby Bindings are installed
Which is much easier to do on Linux and OSX than on Windows
I don't want to rely on the one-click installer any more, and I want to learn how to install Ruby manually. Is there a resource for this?
Download the Windows binaries for Ruby 1.8.7 here: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/. Extract that to wherever you would like; I use C:\ruby. Then put C:\ruby\bin in your PATH environment variable.
Download the zlib package: http://www.zlib.net/zlib123-dll.zip and extract the zlib1.dll, rename it to zlib.dll and move it into your Windows\System32.
Download the iconv package: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25167&package_id=51458. Find and extract the iconv.dll file into your Windows\System32.
Download the rubygems package and follow the instructions, basically extracting the package and running ruby setup.rb.
Verify that everything works properly by trying a gem install rails, once that installs then do: rails test_project
Well, if you're on a Mac I'd recommend MacPorts. There's a good post on it here that's still valid.
If you're on Windows and don't want to use the one-click installer you can install Cygwin and build ruby through it. Here's a post I found.
I'd start with the one-click installer, probably by taking a good look inside the source on RubyForge (disclaimer, I haven't actually done this...). These guys clearly know how to build Ruby on Windows from source, so I'd be inclined to see how they did it.
Beyond that, did you know you can download the 1.8.7 Windows binary from the ruby-lang.org downloads page? That page also has the current stable 1.8.7 source
You might also need libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll, found in OpenSSL: http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
I've pretty much concluded that Ruby 1.8.7 just isn't stable yet for Windows. I was able to get it running on one Vista machine following the instructions above but not my laptop.
For the laptop I followed the following steps and everything seems to be working so far:
Install 1.8.6 using the 1-click
installer. Let it delete old copies
of Ruby if necessary.
Install gems 1.3.4
gem install rails
ruby script\console
point browser to http://localhost:3000/. Make sure everything works as expected
stop console
extract 1.8.7 zip file into the Ruby 1.8.6 directory
copy dll files discussed above into the ruby/bin directory
restart console and again check http://localhost:3000/
I would only follow these directions as a last resort if the instructions above don't work.
Before you wag a finger at me and scold me for this approach...
please consider that I spent ~8 hours reading and trying everything possible and was able to use the approach above successfully on another computer. I'm open to other suggestions!
If you are looking for a place to get all those DLL files - here is a trick: If you install the Ruby one-click-installer for Ruby 1.8.6, it has all of those DLL files in C:\ruby1.8.6\bin (assuming you installed it there).
I was playing with the PIK gem (rvm for Windows) and ran into that problem for Ruby 1.9.1 and after copying those DLL files everything worked perfectly.
Of course, those DLL files are somewhat old, so if Ruby 1.9.1 or 1.8.7 relies on any new features in those DLL files there might be a potential for a bug, but I haven't noticed anything so far and it beats hunting down them on the Internet.
