 Alternatively, if you have another computer on the same network, you can point its browser at the RPi substituting the 0.0.0.0 in the above address for the real RPi one. If you don't know the address of your RPi, then use the following command in a terminal:
-  ip addr
+  hostname -I
 == Conclusion ==
 We have a working installation of Ruby on Rails. It is very slow but just about usable. If this is your introduction to Ruby on Rails please don't let the speed put you off. If you follow this fantastic [http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book tutorial] it will show you how to deploy to [http://www.heroku.com/ Heroku] (for free), then your website will be as fast as those with proper computers.

-This is a guide to install [http://rubyonrails.org Ruby on Rails] on the Raspberry Pi computer running Debian "squeeze". The guide can be followed by anyone if it all goes right, but when things go wrong, it is often difficult to see what the problem is. It will also be useful to people who just require a [http://www.ruby-lang.org Ruby] installation.

It will also be useful to people who just require a [http://www.ruby-lang.org Ruby] installation. The guide can be followed by anyone if it all goes right, but when things go wrong, it is often difficult to see what the problem is. It will take several hours to complete and requires an internet connection.
-The guide has been developed/tested using debian6-19-04-2012. There is not enough room on a standard 2Gb image. I tested with an 8Gb image, but you may get away with 4Gb. Learn how to expand your image [[RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup | here]]. The installation was all done from the basic (pre startx) command prompt.
