I am just starting ruby on rails. In terminal, I entered "rails new TestApp", and this is what happens at terminal:

run bundle install
And it hangs there. Should I just exit it and continue with the app? Why doesn't it give me back the control to terminal? Thanks.
UPDATE: it asked me for my password and installed some gems. But it does that every time i create a new rails project. is this normal? Thanks.
The system is "hanging" because it is installing all the gems, via bundle install
in the Gemfile that rails new <project>
generates. This is the intended behavior. It asks for your password so that it may install some files that it will need sudo
access to write (most likely placing the rail
executable in your path).
You can skip the bundle install
step when calling rails new
by passing it the --skip-bundle
argument. You will still have to call bundle install
before you can run your application, but at least you can control when it happens.
It is useful to use the --skip-bundle
when you know that you are going to change the Gemfile, so that you don't have to wait for bundler to install all the gems before running it again within a few minutes
This is a fairly stale question, but for what it's worth this seems to now be fixed. If you update rails (gem update rails
) it should fix the issue.
As most of the comments mentioned its good to have rvm to control your gems. This hangup is most probably because of a permission issue,
You may try to install the gem in the normal way and see if it works
gem install <gem name>
and following is a basic write up on using rvm with gem sets (which I wrote some time back) (http://keepthingssimple.tumblr.com/post/11274588229/using-rvm-to-keep-things-simple)
