Get Merb, Wear Merb, Fly

Merb is in pretty much constant development at the moment, building up to the big 1.0 release. I’m not going into production immediately but plan to come the next major release, so quite happy to run out of the repository.

Below is a no frills guide to getting up and running with merb.

First off, you’ll need git installed. If you’re on OSX Leopard then try this post here.

Right, lets grab all the repos we need.. and install them..

$ git clone git://github.com/wycats/merb-core.git
$ git clone git://github.com/wycats/merb-more.git
$ git clone git://github.com/wycats/merb-plugins.git
$ cd merb-core ; rake install ; cd ..
$ cd merb-more ; rake install ; cd ..
$ cd merb-plugins ; rake install ; cd ..

You can now create a new merb app with..

$ merb-gen myapp

If you’d like to use activerecord make sure you have the latest version, uncomment the use_orm line in your approot/config/init.rb and add a approot/config/database.yml.
