Download

The recommended way to download and install Radiant is to use Ruby Gems:

% gem install --include-dependencies radiant

Once you have the gem installed, use the “radiant” command to create a new project:

% radiant --database [mysql|postresql|sqlite3] path/to/project

Now follow the INSTALL instructions to configure Radiant for your database and get it up and running on your server. Additional helps for setup and installation can be found in the Installation section of the Radiant Handbook.

The Bleeding Edge

If you are an advanced user and would like to be on the bleeding edge, install via gem as directed above and execute the following in your project directory:

% rake radiant:freeze:edge
% rake radiant:update
% rake db:migrate

To freeze to edge you will need the Subversion client application installed.

Upgrading from 0.5x

Follow the “how to” for instructions on upgrading an existing install.

One Last Thing!

Once you’ve got it up and running on your website, be sure to add your name the list of Radiant Users.

For old releases or to install using the Tarball or Zip file, see the Ruby Forge project release page.
