Manually Installing Rails on XP
Posted by dennis in Ruby on Rails on 05 30th, 2006 | one response
I ran into a problem installing Rails on XP and decided to do it manually. Luckily there’s support for this and it’s documented here. Simply download the listed gems and install in the recommended order. Scroll down to the “Manual Installation” section of the link above. You’ll need to download each gem and then run gem install gemname for each one. It’s a little extra work, but works flawlessly.
