Installing Ruby on Rails Plugins via MediaTemple

May 10th, 2009

Good Morning and Happy Mothers Day!

I have been running Ruby on Rails on my Mac, playing around with applications, getting familiar with the framework. I recently started a Ruby on Rails project for a client and I told the client to switch over to MediaTemple, the best decision ever made. All of the controls and support are amazing. I was trying to run this command to install Restful Authentication:

./script/plugin install git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git

The main issue to make sure to be aware of is to change to your containers directory using this via Terminal:

cd $HOME/../../containers

If you do run:

ls

You should now see a listing of any containers you have purchased in my case mine returns:

rails

Change directories for you are inside your rails application and now run:

./script/plugin install git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git

You should be golden! Hope this helps out some people with any issues they may have. I should also add in that the command will generate your controllers/models, best of luck!

./script/generate authenticated user sessions
