Ruby + Cygwin + Win or another way to install RoR

And so, to install RoR fast (well, maybe you don’t like InstantRails :)) you need:

* Cygwin - download it here We

set everything as it is by default, when we get to the selection of Mirror-s, I would advise you to select “ mirror.mcs.anl. gov "(on some others there was a lack of components). And so you need to choose:
SQLite, gcc, make and the Ruby interpreter:

In the Database section :


In the Devel section :






After installing Cygwin, start it and turn it off, now Cygwin is fully installed. (!!!)

Next we need RubyGem - download the latest version of
Extract in C: \ cygwin \ home \% user_name%

Next, run Cygwin (under administrator rights) and execute:


Wait until it is installed, it will take 2-3 minutes.

After, install Rails and sqlite “adapter”:


It took me about 10 minutes.

Well, it’s like everything, further:
rails text_app - and we are in the Ruby world :)

PS: it’s a pity the karma wasn’t enough to place in “Ruby”
