(Page 3 of 4 )

Installing Rails is just as simple. Click your Start Menu>Programs>Ruby>Ruby Gems>Ruby Gems Package Manager. Whew. Let me catch my breath.

You will now be looking at the RubyGems Package Manager, where all the action takes place.




In the command prompt type the following: gem install rails.

After a moment the following prompts will appear:

Install required dependency activesupport? [Yn]

Install required dependency activerecord? [Yn]

Install required dependency actionpack? [Yn]

Install required dependency actionmailer? [Yn]

Install required dependency actionwebservice? [Yn]

 Press the Y key, followed by Enter (make sure it is the uppercase Y) for each of these prompts.

Rails is now set to run.
