Installing Mina on Debian

[schikulski]

Hi! I'm trying to install Mina on my Debian server. I've installed rubygems via apt-get and installed mina using gem install mina.

But there seems to be something with Rake missing. So I tried install rake with gem install rake, but I still get this same error:

mina init 
mina aborted!
SyntaxError: /home/simen/joss_dev_sites/elverum-kulturskole/config/deploy.rb:25: syntax error, unexpected kIN

My bad. If anyone are experiencing the same problem, make sure you don't already have a config/deploy.rb. I was working on a WordPress installation with that file already present(but for Capistrano). Deleting the file fixed the problem.

Thanks for the insight!

On a separate note, that looks like an old Ruby version. What version of Debian is this?

[schikulski]

That's odd. Running Wheezy(7), fully updated:

# uname -a
Linux jossbox 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# gem -v
1.8.24

There were actually some issues using the old ruby version and Mina. So I updated ruby using RVM instead, and now Mina is working perfectly(ruby 2.1.1p76)
