How to Update Ruby on Rails

Here are the basic steps you need to follow to update Ruby on Rails:

• Find the latest point version here: https://rubygems.org/gems/rails/versions
  • I had Rails 4.1.9 installed. I updated to Rails 4.1.13
• Update your gemfile (gem 'rails', '4.1.13')
• Run bundle update rails
• Run rake rails:update
  • Press d to see how the rake task wants to update each file
  • Normally there are no changes that you want to accept in a point upgrade, so use n to decline most/all changes.
• Follow the Ruby on Rails Upgrade Guide to see any manual changes you need to make or new features you want to take advantage of when updating to a new minor or major version of Rails
