rails generate kss:install Not working about kss-rails HOT 2 CLOSED

You have to have an existing Rails app to use kss-rails with. Have you generated your Rails app already? If you're looking for a standalone example without using Rails, the KSS repository has a good start for you.

The README is fairly straight forward in this case, a majority of Rails related README's follow this same format. Is there anything in particular you are having trouble understanding?

If you haven't generated your application yet, you'll have to run the following in order:

1. Generate the application, or CD into the one you already generated.

   rails new blog

2. Add the gem to your Gemfile, you can use your editor for this but for the sake of a command line version:

   echo 'gem "kss-rails", :group => :development' >> Gemfile

3. This downloads and installs the gem, and also requires it within the Rails application:

   bundle install

4. This is a Rails only command that can be ran on existing applications, it's just a hook Rails provides for gems to add their own installers or related generators:

   rails generate kss:install

5. This starts the server, once that finishes copy the URL and you should be able to access it at something like http://localhost:3000/kss:

   rails server

I see. It was my impression that this will work for any app even if it is not a Rails app. Too bad. =/

Thanks for clearing this up Garrett.
