Here are the steps to install the Rails environment on a Windows box: - DO NOT use the rails Installer ! - download and install Ruby with RubyInstaller as explained here:http://rubyinstaller.org/ - check the installed Ruby version by running *ruby -v* in your command prompt( run Start-Run-cmd) - download and install DevKit as explained at http://rubyinstaller.org/add-ons/devkit/ to enable the build of C-based extension gems - check the installation of DevKit as explained here: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit#building-the-devkit - install rails and related gems by running in your terminal (command prompt) gem install rails. This will take some time. - finally check the installed Rails version by running *rails -v* in your terminal. That's as easy as it is. If you have some proxy related issues, come back or (better) post it to another thread.
