The much anticipated Diaspora source code was released earlier this week. I followed the instruction at http://github.com/diaspora/diaspora but encountered the following error when installing bundler.

ERROR:  Error installing bundler:

bundler requires RubyGems version >= 1.3.6

It appears that there was a slight problem with the RubyGems PPA on the instruction page.

To install diaspora open a terminal, navigate to the desired installation directory and execute:

echo “deb http://downloads.mongodb.org/distros/ubuntu 10.4 10gen” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
