Install thinking Sphinx in Ubuntu 13.04 and set up in Rails 3.2

Check sphinx is already installed in your system,

$ search

If you have already sphinx installed then it will show the sphinx version and other info, else it shows ubuntu information to install.

Download thinking sphinx from
here,

$ tar -xzf sphinx-2.0.8-release.tar.gz
$ cd sphinx-2.0.8-release/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

Type, 

$ search

it will show the sphinx release and the other information.
Add the sphinx gem into your Gemfile

gem 'thinking-sphinx'

Do bundle install

$ bundle install

I assume you already made the model / controller code for sphinx. Else see this
Index all your records

$ rake ts:index -t

While indexing sphinx will generate the configuration file inside RAILS_ROOT/config/config/development.sphinx.conf

If you need to generate only configuration file not indexing you can use this command

$ rake ts:configure -t

Run sphinx searchd daemon

$ rake ts:start -t

You can stop sphinx searchd daemon

$ rake ts:stop -t

You can reindex so that sphinx will re index all records without creating a configuration file.

$ rake ts:reindex -t

Enjoy Sphinx searching!

Install RVM, Ruby on CentOS

First download the Ruby Version Manager (RVM) installer as follows

$ sudo bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )

RVM requires to add relevant users to it’s group. Open the file like so:

$ sudo vim /etc/group

Edit the ‘rvm’ group (likely the last entry) to look like:

rvm:x:503:your_username
Run the install:

$ cd /usr/local/rvm/bin
$ sudo ./rvm-installer
...

“Upgrade of RVM in /usr/local/rvm/ is complete.”

I needed to reload the RVM to continue, this might not be required:

$ rvm reload

If it shows -bash: rvm: command not found

please close the terminal and start it again to load the RVM.

Now we can install the Ruby version. This will also install rubygems which is always useful…

$ rvm install 1.9.3 --with-openssl-dir=/usr
$ ruby -v
$ rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p327 --default

If you are getting nokogiri error like:

Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

checking for libxslt/xslt.h… no

libxslt is missing.

then install

$ sudo yum install -y gcc ruby-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel
