rackup: command not found

Question

I am currently working on a project that requires the rackup command on ubuntu 11.04, but I am getting an error: -bash: rackup: command not found. I have installed both the rails and rack ruby gems.

Any help with this would be awesome!

some more info would help. are you using rvm? what's in your $PATH? – Goodoh

No, I am not using rvm and here is what my $PATH has: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games – Hegarty

where is your ruby installation? does rails command work? – Goodoh

Not sure where I can find out where my ruby installation is, but rails does work. – Hegarty

which rails should tell you where gems' binaries are located, rackup should be in the same location. if it's not maybe try reinstalling rack gem – Goodoh

Answer 1

Looks like rackup was really rackup1.8. Problem was solved right after that! Anybody who runs into a similar issue, be sure to try rackup[version] along with just rackup.

Answer 2

if you're using bundler then perhaps you need to use bundle exec

bundle exec rackup

Just throwing this error when I try that: -bash: bundle: command not found – Hegarty

@ZacharyChristopoulos - Have you checked whether the Gemfile exists? – Amaranth
