Installing Ruby on Rails and Gems on Windows

September 15, 2007 at 7:07 pm · Filed under UK Web Hosting, Web Development, Web Hosting, Windows Web Hosting

There are enough tutorials around on how to install Ruby on Rails and Gems on Linux; but the question is, how do you install them on Windows?

1) Install Ruby using the one click installer. You can get the latest version of the installer from here; the installation is simple and only takes a few clicks.

2) Open the command shell (’Start’ >> ‘Run’ >> ‘cmd’), and navigate to the ruby ‘bin’ directory. normally this will be ‘C:\ruby’ and run ‘gem install rails –include-dependencies’; this will install rails.

…and there you have it! You have install Ruby on Rails abnd Gems on Microsoft Windows!
