resque , redis and rails 2.3.8

Question

Hi anyone can give me idea what i need to install to setup resque and redis on my rails 2.3.8 application.

I have installed.

gem install redis
gem install redis-namespace
gem install resque 
gem install json

after that i have tried to run rake task from my application.

C:\test>rake redis:install
(in C:/cyncabc)
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'redis:install'

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

getting this error.

I have installed gem not plugin. what's the problem with it ? and what's the solution?

Answer 1

Anytime I've had to do it, I've managed to do it very well with this documentation

Answer 2

You have to install the dependencies :

gem install redis redis-namespace yajl-ruby

If you can't install yajl-ruby try with json :

gem install redis redis-namespace json

Then run this command line :

./script/plugin install git://github.com/defunkt/resque

Everything is notice in the doc!

EDIT

To install with gem :

In "config/environnement.rb" write this :

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
    # ...
    config.gem 'redis', :source => 'http://gemcutter.org'
    config.gem 'resque', :source => 'http://gemcutter.org'
    # ...
end

Then type the command :

rake gems:install

If you want to control installed librairies :

gem list
