Installing Ruby on Rails is easy?

Installing Ruby is easy? No way!

After 2 days of figuring out how to install, I concluded that Ruby on Rails on windows documentation in regards to Windows are very limited due to the complexity of the things needed. If you got a Macbook, you got a good start. If you got a Windows, good luck.

After some scratching of heads, I managed to install using Railsinstaller, as it seems to be the only windows installer that is easy to use. Download, and it runs!

However, do note that the Ruby and Rails are not updated in the version Rails installer 2.1. Hence, the following message 'DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle'.

This message appears EVERYWHERE when I key in Ruby/Rails commands. There are options to comment the message away, but it serves to remind the user to update them.

 

Will blog the errors i face for further sharing.
