Wordmove on debian 9 #523

Closed kaktux closed 5 years ago

kaktux commented 5 years ago

hi there,

first: im not a programmer in anyway - just a normal user who when problems occur search for available solutions and try them out. Coming to those solutions myself would probably never happen - therefore i try to keep things as easy as possible.

So my question would be what the easiest way to get wordmove running on debian 9 is. I couldn't find a list of wordmove requirements (ruby version etc) - but as the current version seems to need ruby 2.4 the main "problem" is that debian 9 offers ruby 2.3 as package. I know that there are other installation methods like rvm - but these are far more complex to get to work then simply install the ruby-full package.

In some other discussion i found the solution simply to install an older wordmove version: gem install wordmove -v 2.0.0

So another question would be what the most current wordmove version is that would run with the debian 9 package (https://packages.debian.org/de/stretch/ruby-full).

Or- as i never tried to install ruby before this- if there is another quite simple method to get wordmove running.

Hello,

I totally disagree on the "use an old version" approach. Take a look at when Ruby 2.3 was released: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2015/12/25/ruby-2-3-0-released/

The common solutions to install Ruby language on Linux - I'd say more officially advised than through the OS repos - are rbenv and RVM. Another take could be to install LinuxBrew and hence brew install ruby.

Trying to use software from 2015 will lead more problems and complication than following any of the aforementioned solutions.

Cheers and good luck :)
