How to make a Rails application using MySQL?

To make a Rails application with MySQL, I do the following:

rails new application -database=mysql

That doesn't work though, instead it gives my SQLite. I don't want SQLite, I want MySQL.

How can I solve this?

First of all you need to install mysql2 in your system 

sudo  gem install mysql2 -v=0.2.11

Once you have installed mysql2, then you are ready to create a new app with Mysql as default 

rails new sample_app -d mysql

I think you are looking at the command to create new rails app with mysql configuration in database.yml

rails new app --database mysql

I hope it answers your query.

If you use bundler, then you should add 

gem "mysql2"

to your Gemfile and run

bundle install

and then specify your database settings in config/database.yml
