[katello-devel] Installing Katello under RVM

[Lukas Zapletal]

Hello,

after Fedora 15 upgrade I have decided to try installing Katello in RVM. 
This tool lets you install Ruby and all the gems in a separate directories.

Here is a short tutorial. It installs everything into the $HOME/.rvm 
directory and does not need root privileges:

# bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

Follow on-screen instructions and add the rvm script to your .bashrc.

# rvm install 1.8.7
# rvm use 1.8.7
# rvm gemset create katello
# rvm use 1.8.7 at katello
# gem install bundler
# bundle install
# rails server

Katello is running. After you logout you wont be able to run the Rails 
server and you need to select the gemset again:

# rails server
rails: command not found
# rvm use 1.8.7 at katello
# rails server

You can also create gemsets for separate Ruby projects and keep your 
global rubygems directory clean.
