Setup Windows 10 Discussion

I installed ruby and rails correctly, but when I run my new rails app, my browser cannot connect. I must have missed something obvious somewhere. Has anyone else had this problem?

Nothing wrong! Just had to start the MySQL service: "sudo service mysql start"

Is there anything wrong with just running `sudo apt install rbenv` instead of the shell script? I was having issues with the script. Only the plugins folder was cloned...

Doesn't work with me.
rails aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'v' (see --tasks)

Just wanted to let you know that I just got this up and running! Thankfully I didn't have any issues. Thank you to whoever for putting this together! Great job!!!!

Alberto, yep. You'll always need libpq-dev to compile the C extension for Ruby to talk to Postgres. 👍

Hey John, not sure why that command doesn't work from you. I just pasted in the RVM installation instructions from their website. I don't use RVM though but as long as you get the gpg keys imported, that's all you need.

Hi,

I just impressed, awesome tutorial.

I love this tutorial.

Thanks

Hey all,
So I got this running a long time ago and haven't had any issues since but now when I run any rails command I get a warning that says:
/home/user/.rbenv/versions 2.5.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/railities-5.2.2/lib/rails/app_loader.rb:53 warning: Insecurable world writeable dir mnt/c/rails/project

All the stackoverflow answers are to chmod go-w /home/user but this and many derivations of this doesn't work. What else can I try?

@eliot I looked into this a few months ago and just accepted that it wasn't going to go away unless WSL was changed by Microsoft. Details at: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/1426.

There appears to be ways to get rid of it but could introduce a security issue... I decided it was probably a bit of OCD on my behalf and to just let it go. I just find chasing these bugs means hours lost where I could actually be writing code. If you do figure out a good way please tell though.

Hi, im using Windows 10 with the WSL, and im trying to set the Ruby Interpreter in RubyMine to the one i install using Chirs guide, using the following route /home/tensai/.rbenv/shims/ruby, the problem is that when it starts to Loading the Enviorment throws a Communication Error?

Can anyone tell how i can properly set my RubyMine to use the ruby install in WSL? using rbenv as the version manager.

Hey having a hard time debugging an error maybe someone has some insight?

gem install bundler
Fetching bundler-2.0.1.gem
/home/dj/.rbenv/rbenv.d/exec/gem-rehash/rubygems_plugin.rb:6: warning: Insecure world writable dir /home/dj/.rbenv/versions in PATH, mode 040777
Successfully installed bundler-2.0.1
Parsing documentation for bundler-2.0.1
Installing ri documentation for bundler-2.0.1
Done installing documentation for bundler after 10 seconds
1 gem installed

this insecure world writeable dir has been plaguing me if I try to set up a DB and run rake db:create or rails db:create it wont allow it to do anything any help is appriciated!

Hey Chris I'm getting the following error:
PG::ConnectionBad (could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
):

Try to export PGHOST=localhost to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file in WSL

Hi, can anyone help me with a problem, I'm using windows 10 I have installed ruby, Ubuntu and WSL. Whenever I run my code in visual studio editor or console, I receive this warning message,
warning: Insecure world writable dir /mnt/c in PATH, mode 040777
Is there any way I can fix the problem?

i have the same problem:
i tried an older version of bundler still no change.
then i've seen this :
gem install bundler -v 2.0.1
Fetching: bundler-2.0.1.gem (100%)
/home/cod/.rbenv/rbenv.d/exec/gem-rehash/rubygems_plugin.rb:6: warning: Insecure world writable dir /home/cod/.rbenv/versions/2.5.7 in PATH, mode 040777
Successfully installed bundler-2.0.1
Parsing documentation for bundler-2.0.1
Installing ri documentation for bundler-2.0.1
Done installing documentation for bundler after 5 seconds
1 gem installed

so i think that your solution chmod +t -R ~/.bundle is not good in my case,
error
chmod: cannot access '/home/cod/.bundle': No such file or directory

any idea for an work around?
thank you

Hi Chris,
when I do 'cd'=> and after 'pwd' => home/user_name,
therefore should i change the commands from:
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL
to:
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/user_name/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL
???

Hey there! This guide was VERY useful, as every other guide on the subject I found had untold errors along the way. This one worked perfectly, up one of the very last steps after installing postgresql, where you select it using this:

rails new myapp -d postgresql

I receive this error:

/home/event/.rbenv/versions/2.6.5/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/railties-6.0.1/lib/rails/app_loader.rb:53: warning: Insecure world writable dir /home/event/.rbenv/versions/2.6.5 in PATH, mode 040777
sh: 1: node: not found
sh: 1: nodejs: not found
Node.js not installed. Please download and install Node.js https://nodejs.org/en/download/

I installed NodeJS, but I'm still receiving this error. I tried to proceed to the next part regardless, but on this portion of code:

rake db:create

I receive this error:

        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Apologies for the long help request! I'm just starting out in coding, and getting my development environment set up on Windows is taking a good chunk of my time by itself unfortunately.
