Ruby Installation

Installing Ruby from source code under Windows is a very hard errand that can be http://rubyinstaller.org/from the

or http://railsinstaller.org/ download the packaged installer.

Ruby Configuration

1. Configuring environment Variables in Windows

• Ruby_home=rubyinstaller_dir (where the actual ruby path is)

• Add%ruby_home%\bin in Path

2. Run Ruby--version on the command line if the Ruby version information is displayed stating that the installation is normal.

Devkit Installation

1. Download Devkit

If you use the Rubyinstaller installation package to download DevKit separately, the download path is devkit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx.exe . The file is a 7zip compressed package.

2. Unzip the downloaded file to the appropriate path, such as F:\Software\develop\DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx

3. Enter the Devkit directory under the command line, run Ruby DK.RB init, and generate a config.yml file when finished running

4. Open the Config.yml file and add the path to Ruby, such as

# This configuration file contains the absolute path locations of all# installed Rubies to be enhanced to work with the DevKit. This config# file is generated by the ‘ruby dk.rb init‘ step and may be modified# before running the ‘ruby dk.rb install‘ step. To include any installed# Rubies that were not automagically discovered, simply add a line below# the triple hyphens with the absolute path to the Ruby root directory.## Example:## ---# - C:/ruby19trunk# - C:/ruby192dev#---- E:\Ruby21-x64

Note Keep the above formatting.

At this point the Ruby Runtime environment is well configured. Under the command line, you can install bundles and other gems as you would under Linux.
