Merb Edge

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
