I think you may find it difficult to get help when running Rails on
Windows. I strongly suggest using a Linux distribution such as
Ubuntu, or a Mac as do most developers. You can run Ubuntu in a
virtual machine on top of windows (using VirtualBox or VMWare) or you
can dual boot your machine to run whichever is appropriate. Once you
start using Linux you will wonder why you stuck with Windows. It is
great to feel in control of the PC again.

Unfortunately I need to start Web Server in Windows 7. Please let me know if you have any solution for Windows 7.

No, I have no solution for that, whether you will find a solution I do
not know. Very few Rails servers run on Windows. I suggest that you
tell whoever is instructing you that you must do this to think again.

Exactly as the error says, try the following:

Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit

from 'http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads' and follow the instructions

at 'http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit'

Well if rails and gem are working I wonder:
Have you installed the dev kit?

Looks like the Json gem is failing because the dev kit isnt installed and it needs the build tools inside it

If you have installed the dev kit make sure you follow its instructions. It probably the path issue your error mentions.



Ive used this setup before though so I know its doable

Hi Rohan,

To add to Clayton's message re DevKit. You may use the following instructions.

1)      Download DevKit file from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads (DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20110712-1620-sfx.exe)

2)       Extract DevKit to path C:\Ruby200\DevKit

3)       Go to DevKit installation directory, cd C:\Ruby200\DevKit

5)      Run the command ruby dk.rb review

6)      It is useful to review the list of Rubies to be enhanced to use the DevKit and verify the changes you made to it are correct.

Run ruby dk.rb install

7)     Run gem update --system and run bundle install to your project folder.

Hope everything will go well while fixing these things. :D

Thanks,

Vic

=== 2.4.1 / 2014-07-17

Bug fixes:

* RubyGems can now be updated on Ruby implementations that do not support

  vendordir in RbConfig::CONFIG.  Issue #974 by net1957.

=== 2.4.0 / 2014-07-16

Minor enhancements:

* The contents command now supports a --show-install-dir option that shows

  only the directory the gem is installed in.  Feature request #966 by Akinori

  MUSHA.

* Added a --build-root option to the install command for packagers.  Pull

  request #965 by Marcus Rückert.

* Added vendor gem support to RubyGems.  Package managers may now install gems

  in Gem.vendor_dir with the --vendor option to gem install.  Issue #943 by

  Marcus Rückert.

Bug fixes:

* Kernel#gem now respects the prerelease flag when activating gems.

  Previously this behavior was undefined which could lead to bugs when a

  prerelease version was unintentionally activated.  Bug #938 by Joe Ferris.

* RubyGems now prefers gems from git over installed gems.  This allows gems

  from git to override an installed gem with the same name and version.  Bug

  #944 by Thomas Kriechbaumer.

* Fixed handling of git gems in a lockfile with unversioned dependencies.  Bug

  #940 by Michael Kaiser-Nyman.

* The ruby directive in a gem dependencies file is ignored when installing.

  Bug #941 by Michael Kaiser-Nyman.

* Added open to list of builtin commands (`gem open` now works).  Reported by

  Espen Antonsen.

* `gem open` now works with command-line editors.  Pull request #962 by Tim

  Pope.

* `gem install -g` now respects `--conservative`.  Pull request #950 by Jeremy

  Evans.

* RubyGems releases announcements now now include checksums.  Bug #939 by

  Alexander E. Fischer.

* RubyGems now expands ~ in $PATH when checking if installed executables will

  be runnable.  Pull request #945 by Alex Talker.

* Fixed `gem install -g --explain`.  Issue #947 by Luis Lavena.  Patch by

  Hsing-Hui Hsu.

* RubyGems locks less during gem activation.  Pull request #951 by Aaron

  Patterson and Justin Searls, #969 by Jeremy Tryba.

* Kernel#gem is now thread-safe.  Pull request #967 by Aaron Patterson.

* RubyGems now handles spaces in directory names for some parts of extension

  building.  Pull request #949 by Tristan Hill.

* RubyGems no longer defines an empty Date class.  Pull Request #948 by Benoit

  Daloze.

* RubyGems respects --document options for `gem update` again.  Bug 946 by

  jonforums.  Patch by Hsing-Hui Hsu.

* RubyGems generates documentation again with --ignore-dependencies.  Bug #961

  by Pulfer.

* RubyGems can install extensions across partitions now.  Pull request #970 by

  Michael Scherer.

* `-s` is now short for `--source` which resolves an ambiguity with

  --no-suggestions.  Pull request #955 by Alexander Kahn.

* Added extra test for ~> for 0.0.X versions.  Pull request #958 by Mark

  Lorenz.

* Fixed typo in gem updated help.  Pull request #952 by Per Modin.

* Clarified that the gem description should not be excessively long.  Part of

  bug #956 by Renier Morales.

* Hid documentation of outdated test_files related methods in Specification.

  Guides issue #90 by Emil Soman.

* RubyGems now falls back to the old index if the rubygems.org API fails

  during gem resolution.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RubyGems installed the following executables:

        C:/Ruby200/bin/gem

Ruby Interactive (ri) documentation was installed. ri is kind of like man

pages for ruby libraries. You may access it like this:

  ri Classname

  ri Classname.class_method

  ri Classname#instance_method

If you do not wish to install this documentation in the future, use the

--no-document flag, or set it as the default in your ~/.gemrc file. See

'gem help env' for details.

    Note that the arguments specified in the .railsrc file don't affect the

    defaults values shown above in this help message.

Example:

    rails new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog

    This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.

    See the README in the newly created application to get going.

I've joked with people sometimes that the preferred deployment
strategy for Rails on Windows is a VM running Linux, but depending on
local politics, it may actually be worth considering. (Running a
database this way has significant performance penalties, as the
virtualization layer can make a hash of the DB's attempts to optimize
physical I/O, but even that may not matter for light or moderate
loads.)
