To Install JRuby and Rails from Update Center

JRuby and other associated Gems are now available as IPS packages from Update Center. By downloading them using the Update Tool, you can install them directly on your Enterprise Server.

For information about the Update Tool, see Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Installation Guide.

1. Start the update tool:

   as-install/bin/updatetool

2. From the Update Tool, choose the following packages from Available Add-Ons:

   • JRuby on GlassFish which contains JRuby 1.3.1

   • JRuby Gems which contains Rails 2.3.2, Warbler, jdbc-mysql, and activerecord-jdbcmysql-adapter packages.

3. Click Install, which will install the packages on your Enterprise Server instance.

4. Set your JRUBY_HOME environment variable to the location of your JRuby installation.

   export JRUBY_HOME=/jruby-install-location

5. Add JRUBY_HOME/bin directory to your system path so that you can invoke JRuby from anywhere in your directory tree.

   export PATH=$PATH:$JRUBY_HOME/bin

6. On the Windows operating system, use the following commands for Steps 4 and 5:

   set JRUBY_HOME=C:\jruby-install-location

   set PATH=%JRUBY_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
