That tells you it is rails 4.0.0 as activemodel is one of the components. However, rather than seeing what versions are installed (there could be more than one version of the gems installed) look in the file Gemfile.lock in the applications root folder and you will see what versions it /requires/. I suggest you work right through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org (which is free to use online) which will show you the basics of rails. A few days spend doing that will save you time in the long run. > > This install is on a Ubuntu VPS using the nginx web server, I would like to > get a copy of the app running on a local Ubuntu server I have in my office, > but I am only running Apache on it now and would like to possibly run the > app on Apache versus installing nginx.

If you want this for development work then I suggest you install rails using rvm [1] That will give you a complete working setup in a few minutes.
