RoR-software requirement for hosting website

I am new to deploying ROR websites.

I just want to know what are the software requirements server side, th开发者_运维问答e requirements client side, and steps for deploying the application.

There are no requirement in Client side.

In server side no requirement instead of Ruby. But it's more advice to use a Web-server ( Apache / Nginx / LightHttp ) and Rack compiliant server ( Passenger / Thin / Unicorn )

The step depend of what your really want deploy and in which environment.

Client-side: this depends on the application you wrote, Ruby or Rails don't impose any client-side requirements.

Server-side: you need at least Ruby and a decent webserver like nginx or apache2.

If you're new to deploying your application I highly recommend that you check out Heroku. It's very easy to deploy a ruby application there, you don't need any knowledge about hosting or servers. Check it out at http://heroku.com
