I think gem installs rails: Upgrading from 1.0 So with such a massive update, upgrading is going to be hell, right? Wrong! We've gone to painstaking lengths to ensure that upgrading from 1.0 will be as easy as pie. Here goes the steps: Update to Rails 1.1: gem install rails --include-dependencies Update JavaScripts for RJS: rake rails:update That's pretty much it! If you're seeing any nastiness after upgrading, it's most likely due to a plugin that's incompatible with 1.1. See if the author hasn't updated it and otherwise force him to do so. If you're on Ruby 1.8.2 with Windows, though, you'll want to upgrade to the 1.8.4 (or the script/console will fail). And even if you're on another platform, it's a good idea to upgrade to Ruby 1.8.4. We still support 1.8.2, but might not in the next major release. So may as well get the upgrading with over with now.
