Edge Merb is only meant for people who know what they are doing. For the majority of users, we strongly recommend installing using stable gems.
$ sudo gem install merb --source http://edge.merbivore.com
The edge gems are released nightly and are not recommended in production.
WARNING: This is currently failing as of November 14th unless you first have datamapper installed. To install datamapper do
$ sudo gem install dm-core dm-more
See DataMapper's getting started guide for more details.
Merb core and more gems are available from our main git repository: http://github.com/merb/merb
On top of the release branches, you will find 2 other branches:
master (aka edge managed by the gatekeeper, usually wycats)active (working branch the core developers commit to)Set up edge Merb gem dependencies with the following command:
$ sudo gem install rake rack rspec mongrel hoe templater bundler
To install from edge, start by cloning the repo:
$ git clone git://github.com/merb/merb.git
Then cd into the repo and install what you need using the available rake tasks. You can either use the rake task at the root of the git branch:
$ cd merb $ sudo rake install
or go into each component's directory and install it separately:
$ cd merb/merb-core $ sudo rake install $ cd ../merb-auth $ sudo rake install
