An installer that greatly simplifies the installation of Ruby on Rails and its runtime dependencies

Ruby on Rails is a full-stack MVC framework for database-backed web applications that is optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It lets you write beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration.

BitNami RubyStack application was designed to be an installer that greatly simplifies the installation of Ruby on Rails and its runtime dependencies. It includes ready-to-run versions of Ruby, Rails, MySQL and Subversion. RubyStack is distributed for free under the Apache 2.0 license and has been packaged using BitRock's multiplatform installer.

Here are some key features of "RubyStack":

Easy to Install
· BitNami Stacks are built with one goal in mind: to make it as easy as
possible to install open source software. Our installers completely automate
the process of installing and configuring all of the software included in
each Stack, so you can have everything up and running in just a few clicks.

Independent
BitNami Stacks are completely self-contained, and therefore do not interfere
with any software already installed on your system. For example, you can
upgrade your system's MySQL or Apache without fear of 'breaking' your
BitNami Stack.

Integrated
· By the time you click the 'finish' button on the installer, the whole stack
will be integrated, configured and ready to go.

Relocatable
· BitNami Stacks can be installed in any directory. This allows you to have
multiple instances of the same stack, without them interfering with each other.
