Development Kit installation

[msdb...@gmail.com]

The process is kind of ambiguous to me.   

Is there a link to a video tutorial ?

I installed Ruby, and the Gems, but not able to install the Development Kit 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Not that I'm aware of.

Why the process is ambiguous?

 

I installed Ruby, and the Gems, but not able to install the Development Kit 

Install instructions are here:

https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

To summarize steps:

- Download the right DevKit for your version of Ruby (all this detailed in the download page)

- Run DevKit to extract its contents into a folder you can remember (example: C:\Ruby193\DevKit if you have Ruby in C:\Ruby193)

- Open a Command Prompt window where you have Ruby access (you can use the one from the installer *Start Command Prompt with Ruby*)

- Now `cd` into the DevKit directory (eg. cd C:\Ruby193\DevKit)

- Type ruby dk.rb init

- Type ruby dk.rb review (and review the output)

- Proceed with installation: ruby dk.rb install

And you should be good to go.
