As you may know I've been learning Ruby on Rails for the last few weeks. I'm also currently developing an application using the edge version of RefineryCMS (which is really a Rails 3.1 application), integrated with the almighty Heroku.
I wanted to use RefineryCMS with Postgresql, so the only thing that I had to do was installing postgresql and it's corresponding gem 'pg'... Or so I thought.
I wasn't surprised. About a year ago I had the same unfulfilled expectations with mysql and the mysql gem. So, this is what I had to do:
- First, of course, install postgresql with
apt-get install postgresql - Then, install the libpq-dev with
apt-get install libpq-dev. Note that it's "pq" and not "pg" as you would probably expect. - Finally, install the "pg" gem with
gem install pg
With that done, you should be ready to go. :)
Enjoy!
