Installing a Ruby Development Environment on Windows

In the past, the Ruby “One-Click Installer” was the primary choice for installing Ruby on Windows. However, the One-Click Installer fell into disrepair and was eventually abandoned. Something new was needed, and thus, RubyInstaller was born. The philosophies are a bit different though, and less is bundled with RubyInstaller. But that just means there’s an extra step or two to setting up your complete development environment.

• Installing a Ruby Development Environment on Windows
• Download RubyInstaller
