Create Rails Application from Edge Version -- 5.0.0.beta1.1

5.0.0.beta1.1 was released with exciting features like Action Cable, API mode, and new Rails commands. To test these, we need to setup a Rails application from the Edge Version.

Steps to Setup

1. Create an application folder and a Gemfile:

mkdir app_name
cd app_name
touch Gemfile

2. Add the following to your Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'
ruby '2.2.3'

gem 'rails', :github => 'rails/rails'
gem 'arel', :github => 'rails/arel'
gem 'rack', :github => 'rack/rack'

Note: Rails 5 requires Ruby 2.2.2 or greater.

3. Install gems:

rvm use 2.2.3
bundle install

4. Generate the Rails application:

bundle exec rails new . --force --dev

The --force flag allows Rails to overwrite our temporary Gemfile, and the --dev flag tells Rails to point to the edge version we just bundled.

Now you have a brand new Rails application running on the edge version!
