• Subversion

Subversion needs to be installed on Debian:

 # apt-get install subversion

• Make sure ImageMagick 6.3.x or higher is on your server, it is required by RMagick

 # apt-get install imagemagick

• Install required packages

 # aptitude install ruby ruby1.8-dev libxml2-dev libxml-ruby1.8 libxml-parser-ruby1.8 libmysql-ruby1.8 rails mysql-server rubygems librmagick-ruby libmysqlclient15-dev

• Execute as root and answer yes to all questions

 # gem install -v=2.0.2 rails
 # gem install mysql

You are presented with 6 options, select 3.

 # gem install libxml-ruby

• And then the multipart key plugin:

 # gem install -v 0.9.93 composite_primary_keys

Note

The latest version is not compatible with Rails 2.0.1

• Install RMagick

 # gem install rmagick

If you get this error (Ubuntu), "checking for Magick-config... no Can't install RMagick 2.6.0. Can't find Magick-config in /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin", try this and then install again:

# apt-get install libmagick9-dev
