An interesting evening trying to install ruby on rails

Rails
1

Hey all,

I have quite some interesting time attempting to get my first server up
with the instructions posted on the main ruby on rails page, but without
success.

I was hoping someone could point me to the last version that works out
of
the box.

I just want to get a server up so i can create a few end points and
start
toying with it.

I attempted to get latest version at the time: 2.2

Platform Windows 7

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

that is a ruby version rather than a rails version.

I’ve found the rails installer stuff (which installs ruby + rails) +
the
rails girls instructions work
well: http://guides.railsgirls.com/install/#setup-for-windows

Richard,

I am sympathetic… I also work from Windows 7. I have had success
with
Aptana Studio 3. My opinion is that you clear/uninstall all that you
have
done, and investigate Aptana.

If you do not want to pursue Aptana, clear/uninstall all that you have
done, go to authoritative Ruby on Rails, http://rubyonrails.org/, and
follow instructions to the letter.
