Alex is a Ruby on Rails template generator. Alex asks the user some questions to generate the templates and then applies the template to the new app.
First, make sure you have Ruby installed.
On a Mac, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and type:
ruby -v
If the output looks something like this, you're in good shape:
ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22 revision 43786) [x86_64-darwin13.0.0]
If the output looks more like this, you need to [install Ruby][ruby]: [ruby]: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
ruby: command not found
On Linux, for Debian-based systems, open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
or for Red Hat-based distros like Fedora and CentOS, type:
sudo yum install ruby-devel
(if necessary, adapt for your package manager)
On Windows, you can install Ruby with [RubyInstaller][]. [rubyinstaller]: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
Once you've verified that Ruby is installed:
gem install alex
To start the wizard just run:
alex new APPNAME
Then you need to run the alex initialization. Navigate to the new app:
cd APPNAME/
And run:
alex init
