No man page for rails command

I can't access rails man page. How can I fix this? Thanks

nuno@Houdini:~/workspace/depot_a$ man rails
man: can't resolve /usr/share/man/man1/rails.1.gz: No such file or directory
No manual entry for rails

edit: But how come some people have a man page and others don't?

Solution

  • Rails isn't a traditional operating system package, and usually isn't installed through apt-get or yum, but through the rubygems packaging system that does not install manpages for documentation.
