OK.  I go to

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
and download the JDK,
   jdk-8u101-linux-x64.tar.gz
Next, I double click on that file, and extract the files to
   /home/jdgalt/Programming/Java
which creates the folder /home/jdgalt/Programming/Java/jdg1.8.0_101 .

This exhausts the instructions given at

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/linux_jdk.html#BJFGGEFG
so I don't know what to do next.  I'm guessing there are paths and other
settings that need to be done before Java will run.

Now, what am I doing wrong?

  Just a note, the issue you are currently having isn't related to rails, but 
rather related to getting java installed.

  However, after you extract it, /home/jdgalt/Programming/Java should contain 
the java installation, eg, the javac executable itself being 
/home/jdgalt/Programming/Java/jdk1.8.0_101/bin/java (some files will exist in 
.../jdk1.8.0_101/jre/bin/

  At least the old official release I have on my system (1.7.12) has a rails.sh, 
but it is a pretty trivial program.  If you use an official release, you 
probably don't need to worry about compiling, and can just do something like:

/home/jdgalt/Programming/Java/dk1.8.0_101/jre/bin/java rails-<version>.jar

Now I've gotten the JDK and git installed, and Rails cloned.  However,
when I go to the Rails repository and perform
   ./rails.sh
I get "permission denied".  Any ideas?

chmod +x rails.sh

Alternately, run:

"sh rails.sh"

rails.sh is world readable.  So is java.

I was figuring the issues is that it's not executable, which it would need
to be for a "./script" type command to execute.

So what does running "sh rails.sh" produce then? That should work even with
simple read permissions.

Or type:
sh rails.sh
from the directory it's in

"sh rails.sh" produces the message:

Error: Unable to access jarfile ./rails-@VERSION@.jar

FWIW, there is no file with a name of that form in the project
directory.  Here's what "ls" produces:

localisedText.properties

Good Morning John,

you havent build the jar-file yet. The directory listing you show is the
srcdistribution from sourgeforge.
rails.sh is in there because its needed and will be put into the release
file by the build process.
What kind of IDE do you use or plan to use ? eclipse ?

If so and you have it installed switch to the ant-view in eclipse add
the build.xml from the root-src-directory and run build project or build
release. This should lead to a directory named rails-1.9.x or rails-2.x
to appear :)
Inside that directory you'll find another rails.sh this then should
start rails from the commandline.

if you want to work without an IDE you need to have "Apache Ant"
installed to work with the provided build.xml in the root directory.

Kind regards,
Martin
