curl ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org:21//pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.gz > ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.gz tar xvf ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.gz cd ruby-1.9.2-p0 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ror --enable-shared make make test sudo make install
Create a file called /usr/local/ror/ror_env.sh. Add the following to it:
export PATH=/usr/local/ror/bin:$PATH
Run the command
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ror/ror_env.sh /etc/profile.d/ror_env.sh

Open a terminal window
$ which ruby /usr/local/ror/bin/ruby $ which gem /usr/local/ror/bin/gem
sudo su - gem update --system gem install rails -v 3.0.3 gem install sqlite3-ruby gem install pg gem install passenger
passenger-install-nginx-module --prefix=/usr/local/ror --auto-download --auto
