Hi,
I have a few tips to add to Debian specific installation page. Apparently
there's no convenient way to submit a PR against GH wiki, so here we go...
diff --git a/Installation:-Debian-and-Ubuntu.md
b/Installation:-Debian-and-Ubuntu.md
index c1136d0..0cb6b7d 100644
--- a/Installation:-Debian-and-Ubuntu.md
+++ b/Installation:-Debian-and-Ubuntu.md
@@ -35,6 +35,11 @@ gem install sup # sudo is not needed if not using system
ruby
```
Note: On a freshly set-up Debian 8.1 with a virgin ruby installation, you
might get an error while trying to install the latest version of Sup, which
is thanks to a missing library (xapian). Easily fixed by fetching the
native Debian version straight from the repository (`apt-get install
ruby-xapian`) and running the above commands again ;)
+If you get `No such file or directory --
/usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/rake-12.3.1/exe/rake`, installing
fresh rake via rubygems (`gem install rake`) might help.
+
+If installation fails on `xapian-ruby` without any specific error message,
try installing that package first (`gem install xapian-ruby`) and then sup.
+
+If you can't or don't want to install gems globally, there's always the
option to install them under your home directory (`~/.gem/`) with `gem
install --user-install <gemname>`. Then you need to also make sure you have
gem binaries in your path. That you can achieve for example by appending
`PATH="$HOME/.gem/ruby/2.5.0/bin:$PATH"` to your `~/.profile`.

Thank you very much for this - a very good addition.
I've edited
<https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/wiki/Installation:-Debian-and-Ubuntu>
now on your behalf now to apply this change verbatim. Credit is in the
history
<https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/wiki/Installation:-Debian-and-Ubuntu/_history>.
@danc86 - Perhaps we might consider removing "Restrict edits to
collaborators only" from the wiki settings? It is straightforward to
revert any resultant vandalism, because the revision history is kept. I
don't have access to do this, but the option is documented here:
<https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/building-a-strong-community/changing-access-permissions-for-wikis>.
Kind regards,
Iain
