Small issue with installation instructions #13

Closed cachapa closed 10 years ago

cachapa commented 10 years ago

I had a bit of trouble installing Clear Skies on my Debian Unstable and Raspbian distos.

The Ubuntu packages suggested don't seem to exist in Debian, so I tried to use the gem installation method, but that method requires the "ruby-dev" package. Googling the problem shows that this is also true for Ubuntu, so I propose adding that to the instructions to simplify the installation process for others.

My abridged instructions: [sudo] apt-get install ruby ruby-dev [sudo] gem install rb-inotify ffi

It looks like Debian unstable has transitioned to naming the packages ruby-rb-inotify and ruby-ffi, and the latest Ubuntu and wheezy still have both the old naming convention and the new one. I will change the instructions to be the new way, which should cover all cases.
