this method works great (thank you very much!!! i needed it to compile my university's thesis!), but i have a little problem:
when i go to type "gem install rails", the system give me this output:
"Succesfully installed rails-4.0.0
1 gem installed"
and it's ok
and then, when i check the version with "rails -v":

"Rails 2.3.14"

how can i resolve this?

Make sure you haven't installed Rails from another method. It seems as if you've got two copies of Rails installed.

I've just removed RoR from my Ubuntu 13.04 for installing update version of RoR. But how can I be sure that its completely removed?

When i'm trying to setup my ubuntu 13.04 gives me this !!! what should I do?

"Downloaded archive checksum did not match, archive was removed!

If you wish to continue with not matching download add '--verify-downloads 2' after the command.

There has been an error fetching the ruby interpreter. Halting the installation."

First of all it is a great tutorial brother i just want to confirm that after installing rails when i check rails version it shows 2.3.14 i try to re install rails it shows that "successfully installed rails 4.0.0" but again the version is 2.3.14. I am new to rails so please help me how to sort out this problem.

If you used rbenv, you'll need to run "rbenv rehash" to get it to see the new version of Rails.

Listen!!!! I have been work for three plus years supporting a Rails server and application and your instruction were bang on!. I knew where the typos were, and made the required changes. I could not have asked for a better set of instructions.

Thanks a million

I'm using rbnev,
At the step of: "$gem install rails", i get this type of error: "Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (>= 0), here is why:

Maryam, that sounds like an internet connection problem. You might try visiting rubygems.org and making sure you don't have any trouble with that.

By the way, if you're using this guide to set up a dev environment on a version other than 13.04 or 14.04 (I was using 10.04) be careful not to add this repository:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://apt.postgresql.org/p... precise-pgdg main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list"

when installing PostgreSQL 9.3. It will break your packages since it installs libs from Ubuntu Precise on your 10.04 installation. In this case I had to purge the installed packages and do a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to resync my packages to the correct version. Besides that, the rest of the guide works pretty good on 10.04.
