After many difficulties, the main issue with the "normal" installation process was that, out of the box, Fedora is missing some C++ headers that Ruby/Rails need to build the packages (like sqlite3, for example). It was solved once I ran:
sudo dnf install gcc-c++And then I had to re-compile the missing packages, and install Webpack.
These are the series of commands I used, but maybe doing sudo dnf install gcc-c++ from the start could save a lo of trouble:
sudo dnf install gcc
sudo dnf install gcc-c++Installation process
Start by installing the necessary packages:
# Ruby
ruby --version
sudo dnf install ruby
ruby --version
# SQLite3
sqlite3 --version
# NodeJS
node --version
sudo dnf install nodejs
# Yarn
yarn --version
sudo npm install yarn -g
yarn --version
# Rails
gem install rails
sudo dnf install ruby-devel
gem install rails
rails --versionmkdir Development
cd Development/
rails new blog
It failed, so I did:
sudo dnf install sqlite-devel
sudo dnf install gcc
sudo dnf install gcc-c++Then, we try again:
rm -rf blog
rails new blog
cd blog
bin/rails serverAnd we need to fix the missing packages:
sudo gem pristine bindex --version 0.8.1
sudo gem pristine bootsnap --version 1.9.1
sudo gem pristine byebug --version 11.1.3
sudo gem pristine ffi --version 1.15.4~
sudo gem pristine ffi --version 1.15.4
sudo gem pristine msgpack --version 1.4.2
sudo gem pristine puma --version 5.5.0
sudo gem pristine racc --version 1.5.2
sudo gem pristine sassc --version 2.4.0
sudo gem pristine sqlite3 --version 1.4.2Installing Webpacker:
rails webpacker:installNow it works:
bin/rails server
