Installing Ruby on Rails and Gems on Windows
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!
