+[[!meta title="Ruby on Rails autoinstaller"]]
+At long last, we’ve just deployed a brand new
+[autoinstaller](http://scripts.mit.edu/start/) for
+[Ruby on Rails](http://rubyonrails.org/), the popular
+[Ruby](http://www.ruby-lang.org/) based web application framework.
+
+Ruby on Rails has been supported on
+[scripts.mit.edu](http://scripts.mit.edu/) for quite some time, but
+the setup process was entirely manual, and involved many
+nonintuitive steps. You can now get a working Rails installation up
+and running for your own application in less than 60 seconds by
+typing
+
+ $ add scripts
+ $ scripts-rails
+
+from any Athena machine, and following the instructions.
+
+This brings the count of autoinstallable applications up to 12:
+
+ advancedbook
+ django
+ e107
+ gallery2
+ joomla
+ mediawiki
+ phpbb
+ phpical
+ rails
+ trac
+ turbogears
+ wordpress
+
+You can read more about these applications on our
+[quick-start page](http://scripts.mit.edu/start/).
