Updated install instructions for Ubutu 12.04 server

[abythell]

I needed to make some amendments to the build instructions when installing a Thingspeak server on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04.05LTS server.

Before installing RVM, add signatures:

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys D39DC0E3 

After installing RVM, source script:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Install ruby with a different syntax:

rvm install ruby-2.1.0

Before "bundle install", add a few missing gems:

gem install minitest -v '4.7.5' # Install gem
gem install json -v '1.8.1' #Install gem

To run the entire install process from a Bash script, see this gist.

I've also written another script which installs ruby from sources instead of using rvm. Details can be found here.

Thank you very much.

The maintainer of this repo should really update the tutorial.
I was very confused about ruby-2.1.0 is not installed.
Now my wandboard is compiling ruby from sources again for hours....
(I dont need your script for source compiling, if i do rvm install ruby-2.1.0, rvm do that for me.

Sorry for my English

Addition: I had to do
$ gem install rails --version=4.0.0.rc1 # to get bundle and rails 4

I have found a similar problem on Ubuntu 16.04LTS. Since the project requires exactly ruby-2.1.0 and OS pre-installed ruby-2.3.0, so before installing the bunlder, it should be switched to the ruby-2.1.0 by rvm.

I really forgot about this problem. Id not touched thingspeak since 2015. 3 years ago... Now i would prefer using a docker container with the complete environment inside. There are many available.

https://hub.docker.com/r/greyltc/thingspeak/~/dockerfile/
(Id not tested the container, its just for reference that there's something easier to use than installing it your own, use at your own risk)
