Installation and Setup

Radiant is a traditional Ruby on Rails application, meaning that you can configure and run it the way you would a normal Rails application.

See the INSTALL file for more details.

Installation of a Prerelease

As Radiant nears newer releases, you can experiment with any prerelease version.

Install the prerelease gem with the following command:

$ gem install radiant --prerelease

This will install the gem with the prerelease name, for example: ‘radiant-0.9.0.rc2’.

  1. Update the Radiant assets from in your project:

    $ rake radiant:update
    
  2. Migrate the database:

    $ rake production db:migrate
    
  3. Restart the web server

gem install ZenTest rspec rspec-rails cucumber webrat nokogiri sqlite3-ruby
