Redmine on Ubuntu (Mate) v 15.10 is not installable
Added by Kai Weber about 9 years ago
Hello,
I'm not a Linux expert but I want to use Redmine for our project management. So I tried to install the latest Redmine version which is available over the packet manager in Ubuntu. I used a lot of different manuals and description but it was never possible to install Redmine. Everytime there is another error or something is missing. Could it be that it is currently not possible via the normal "apt-get" and "gem" way to install the application?
At the moment I got this message after <sudo apt-get install ruby> and <sudo apt-get install ruby-dev>:
"Could not find gem 'jquery-rails (~> 3.1.1) ruby' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile or available on this machine."
Before this problem it was a really big effort for me to upgrade Ruby to version 2.2.2 because with the standard packet manager I got only an older version 2.1.9 which was a problem for Rails, Redmine or what else.
Here is one example for an easy installation which won't work:
- sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server
- sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql
- apt-get install libapache2-mod-passenger
- sudo ln -s /usr/share/redmine/public /var/www/redmine
- sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/redmine
- sudo su
- echo "RailsBaseURI /redmine" > /etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine.conf
- exit
- sudo a2ensite redmine
- sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
- sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Does anyone know more?

Hi Kai,
I wouldn't recommend installing redmine, nor even Ruby, via ubuntu's packages.
See the following thread concerning redmine packages in debian/ubuntu, https://redmine.org/boards/1/topics/48689
Instead, install redmine manually, as described here https://redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall
