Rails Installation

Rails 3.x

Step 1: Add the airbrake gem to your Gemfile. In Gemfile:

gem 'airbrake'

Then from your project's RAILS_ROOT, and in your development environment:

Step 2: Install the airbrake gem

$ bundle install

$ rails generate airbrake --api-key (your_key_here)

That's it!

The generator creates a file under config/initializers/airbrake.rb configuring Airbrake with your API key. This file should be checked into your version control system so that it is deployed to your staging and production environments.

Step 3: Make sure to watch the gem on rubygems and follow us on our airbrake github page to keep your airbrake gem current!
