This git repo uses ssh key to authenticate you when you want to push update to this repo. (As this project does not allow un-authenticated users to view/check-out the source codes, you cannot use the git:// url but definitely have to use the ssh:// url)

Mac/Linux

SSH is already bundled in Mac. For Ubuntu linux, if it is not bundled already, simply open Synaptic Manager or use apt-get to install it. Then, follow this Kenai help page to create your own ssh key.

Windows XP-SP3/2000 (server)

Windows rely on third party SSH clients. Among the popular ones is PuTTY. But msysGit project also bundle the ssh libraries for use.

Follow the links in Windows section in Kenai help page to create your own ssh key. Recommended is the Git Bash way. PuTTY way is slightly more complex.

Getting the scrm2010 Source Codes

REMEMBER to test your ssh key generated from the above steps.

Once the key works, to get the source codes:

 $ cd /your/source/directory/
 $ git clone ssh://your_user_id@git.kenai.com/scrm2010~scrm2010src scrm2010

Git will pull the source codes into /your/source/directory/scrm2010/ . You can get the git checkout url from the scrm2010 project page

RVM

Using RVM to manage your RoR versions for development & testing

Follow: official RVM installation guide or take a look at how my installation experience for Ubuntu and Snow Leopard:

Installing RVM in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic

Pre-requisites
- I probably had these packages installed already so I did not run into any problem installing and using RVM, so it may be a good idea to use apt-get install these first it not installed already:

   build-essential
   curl
   git-core
   libreadline5
   libreadline-dev
   libreadline5-dev
   libreadline6-dev
   zlib1g
   zlib1g-dev
   libssl-dev
   bison
   vim
   autoconf
   sqlite3
   libsqlite3-0
   libsqlite3-dev
   libxml2-dev
   subversion

Installing RVM
1. Follow the 1. GitHub Repository method, i.e. running just this line in my HOME directory in terminal:
  bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )
  (note the space between the '<' character)
2. After the installation, I edited my ~/.bashrc:

Changed this line:

  [ -z "$PS1" ] && return
  ... ... ...

to:

  # [ -z "$PS1" ] && return
  if [[ -n "$PS1" ]] ; then
  ... ... ...

At the last line, added:

  ... ... ...
  [[ -s $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm ]] && source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
  fi
  #EOF .bashrc

Test if the Installation is OK

I have to quit the terminal completely, and reopen the terminal again, to test these commands can run:

  rvm | head -n1

which returns this "rvm is a function", and run:

  rvm notes

which display a whole lot of info, including some of the above info

Installing RVM in Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard

Pre-requisites
- git must be installed first

Installing RVM
1. Follow the 1. GitHub Repository method, i.e. running just this line in my HOME directory in terminal:
  bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )
  (note the space between the '<' character)
2. After the installation, I created .profile in my HOME directory and put this line into the last line of my ~/.profile:
  [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

Test if the Installation is OK

I have to quit the terminal completely, and reopen the terminal again, to test these commands can run:

  rvm | head -n1

which returns this "rvm is a function", and run:

  rvm notes

which display a whole lot of info, including some of the above info

Installing dependencies that are required for RVM to install rubbies
1. I took note from 'rvm notes', that Xcode in my OSX DVD is not 3.2.1 (1613) so I downloaded and installed Xcode 3.2.3 (1688)
2. Although some sites like this one and this site indicate possibly problems with readline, I did not get such error so I did not do this
