Update README instructions for Linux install
Hey! After struggling to install ruby (again), I figured I should document all the issues I've run into installing ruby and add it to our README. Having done this on two fresh builds of Linux, I ran into two issues with the directions constantly.
-
sudo apt-get ruby-dev
should besudo apt-get install ruby-dev
. It's just missing the install command. -
Both times,
nokogiri
caused me issues b/c I hadn't installedzlib
. I'm not sure if this is an issue juts b/c I'm on very new builds of linux, but it might be worth noting that if you get an error related tonokogiri
, the solution may be that you need to runsudo apt-get install libz-dev
before the install will work.
Just some thoughts I had while installing ruby again! @lwasser
@nkorinek this is so great. can you please update our readme with these two items and link the PR to this issue? Great catch!
i really hate that ruby install. it's just weird that it worked for me but not for you on linux. but i can see if a core library is missing... running into issues!
