“Installing Juggernaut GEM – headache -painkiller”

Well one of our need was Juggernaut as we wanted to have a push server .

Well using was straight forward as mentioned in the below link:

http://juggernaut.rubyforge.org/

but installing juggernaut took a hell of the deed.

Follow the steps :

1/ gem install json

2/gem install json_pure

3/gem install eventmachine

4/gem install juggernaut –ignore-dependencies

not installing “json_pure” wont make the juggernaut install

I hope its useful for you.

Even after this when you say juggernaut -g juggernaut.yml on your command prompt then it will throw you an exception saying json version error need v=1.1.2 , So to rectify this .

Trace down to “\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\specifications\juggernaut-0.5.4.gemspec“
and change the

s.add_dependency(%q eventmachine, [">= 0.10.0"])
s.add_dependency(%q json, [">= 1.1.2"]) # —- changed this to 1.1.1
s.add_dependency(%q hoe, [">= 1.5.1"]) #— changed this to 1.3.1

Then start juggernaut. juggernaut -c juggernaut.yml
