Visual Tutorial: Installing Ruby on Windows

Running Ruby Programs From the Command Line

Running Ruby programs from the command-line can be achieved by either "running" the file by typing its name or by using the ruby command. Since the One-Click Installer also associated .rb files with the ruby command, you can also double-click on any .rb file from Windows Explorer or My Computer to run the script.
