Quickly Get Up And Running With Rails

Spent some time learning Ruby and are now wondering how to get a web page going? In this blog I’ll be showing you a quick glance at how Ruby on Rails can expedite this process and build you a full fledge website in minutes. All you need is your Terminal and a text editor of your choice. I’ll be using Visual Studio Code for this example, but you it should look pretty identical your own editor.

First thing is first open your terminal and create a directory that will house your project. While inside of that directory, input rails new.

This will create a brand new rails project for you, building the file structure for your project and installing all the dependencies needed to make a backend and put your project online.

If you open your project within your text editor, you should see the file structure that that one command created. Pretty neat right? From here you can continue to create the files that you need to fully flesh out your page. Now I’m going to show you how to see what your project looks like in your browser.

Go back to your Terminal and input the command rails s or rails server while within your project’s directory.

Thanks for reading and Happy Coding!
