Spree is a e-commerce development platform built in Ruby On Rails . In this post , we will install and run a sample web application built in spree.
First of all , install Ruby version > 1.9.x . you have to install devkit also . After that, install rails , using following command :
gem install rails -v 3.2.13
install imagemagick, it is used by spree .
Make sure your rails version is not 4.0 , otherwise you may get ". is not a rails project " error.
Now install spree and create a rails project by these commands:
gem install spree
rails _3.2.13_ new my_store
If you get following error :
C:\Users>spree install my_store
Would you like to install the default gateways? (Recommended) (yes/no) [yes] yes
Would you like to install the default authentication system? (yes/no) [yes] yes
Would you like to run the migrations? (yes/no) [yes] yes
Would you like to load the seed data? (yes/no) [yes] yes
Would you like to load the sample data? (yes/no) [yes] yes
gemfile spree
gemfile spree_gateway
gemfile spree_auth_devise
run bundle install from "./my_store"
https://github.com/spree/spree_gateway.git (at 2-0-stable) is not checked out. Please run `bundle install`
You have to run bundle install in your rails project.
bundle install
You might get error like this :
Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "jquery-rails":
In Gemfile:
spree (= 2.0.3) x86-mingw32 depends on
jquery-rails (~> 2.0) x86-mingw32
jquery-rails (3.0.4)
To remove this error , change the gem file to use stable version of spree like this :
gem 'spree', :github => "spree/spree", :branch => "2-0-stable"
gem 'spree_auth_devise', :github => "spree/spree_auth_devise", :branch => "2-0-stable"
gem 'spree_gateway', :git => 'https://github.com/spree/spree_gateway.git', :branch => "2-0-stable"
Your bundle is complete!
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
Now run this command to setup database and other things for your spree app :
bundle exec rails g spree:install
Install mysql gem correctly , otherwise you will get errors like this :
Please install the mysql2 adapter: `gem install activerecord-mysql2-adapter` (cannot load such file -- mysql2)
For installing mysql gem , first uninstall all the version of mysql . Download , connector library for windows(zip format) ,unzip it to a folder , and run the following command :
gem install mysql2 --platform=ruby -- '--with-mysql-include=C:\mysql2\include --with-mysql-lib=C:\mysql2\lib --with-mysql-dir=C:\mysql2'
Where mysql2 is the directory containing connector folder.
If you use 64bit version of mysql connector , you might get some errors .
After installing mysql2 , you may get error in brcypt also . Like this :

Uninstall all versions of bcrypt and bcrypt-ruby and reinstall by using following command :
gem install bcrypt-ruby -v 3.0.1 --platform=ruby --no-ri --no-rdoc
After removing these errors , this command should work :
bundle exec rails g spree:install
It will create all the required files in your rails folder , and create database and also sample data .
Now you can start the server , by typing "rails s" and see sample spree app on your browser http://localhost:3000 .
Post any errors and suggestions regarding this .
