An interesting evening trying to install ruby on rails

[Richard Lalancette]

Hey all,

I have quite some interesting time attempting to get my first server up with the instructions posted on the main ruby on rails page, but without success.

I was hoping someone could point me to the last version that works out of the box.

I just want to get a server up so i can create a few end points and start toying with it.

I attempted to get latest version at the time: 2.2

Platform Windows 7

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

that is a ruby version rather than a rails version. 

I've found the rails installer stuff (which installs ruby + rails)  + the rails girls instructions work well: http://guides.railsgirls.com/install/#setup-for-windows

Richard,

I am sympathetic...  I also work from Windows 7.  I have had success with Aptana Studio 3.  My opinion is that you clear/uninstall all that you have done, and investigate Aptana.

If you do not want to pursue Aptana, clear/uninstall all that you have done, go to authoritative Ruby on Rails, http://rubyonrails.org/, and follow instructions to the letter.
