Installation

To install will_paginate in Rails 3 or other frameworks:

## Gemfile for Rails 3, Sinatra, or Merb
gem 'will_paginate', '~> 3.0.pre4'

Then run bundle install. It will automatically hook into Rails or Merb on application boot.

A Sinatra app needs a couple of extra requires:

## Sinatra
require 'will_paginate'
require 'will_paginate/active_record'  # or data_mapper/sequel

Rails 2.3.x or older

will_paginate 3.0 and newer doesn't support Rails older than 3.0. If you run an older version of Rails, you have to use the 2.3.x version of will_paginate:

## Rails 2.1 - 2.3: environment.rb
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
  config.gem 'will_paginate', :version => '~> 2.3.16'
end

Then run rake gems:install (use sudo if necessary).

For Rails 2.0 or older, a simple require will suffice:

## Rails 1.2 - 2.0: environment.rb
require 'will_paginate'
