Five, create a test rails application.

Enter the directory where you want to create the project, and if the project is named Hysia, lay it under the cmd command line: Rails Hysia

At this point, the system will automatically create a Ruby on Rails application, automatically initialize the directory structure and some basic stuff.

Six, start rails.

Go to the Hysia directory and enter at the command line: Mongrel_rails start-d start the mongrel server.

The default Web server will use port 3000,

Finally, open the browser and test if you can show the main interface of Ruby on Rails (ROR).

In this case, Ruby on Rails was successfully installed.

Seventh, this can choose to install the database, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Mysql,db2,oracle and so on.

Postscript:

Of course, you can also download some integrated development environment installation package, there are many steps can be omitted

Instantrails may be a good choice for: http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/29867/InstantRails-2.0-win.zip

Ruby, Rails, Mongrel, and Apache are all packaged together in Instantrails.
