Ruby on rails installation on Windows

muhammadnoman — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 08:53:27 +0000

First, let’s check to see if you already have Ruby installed. Bring up a command prompt and and type ruby -v. If Ruby responds, and if it shows a version number at or above 1.8.2 then type gem –version. If you don.t get an error, skip to step 3. Otherwise, we.ll install a fresh Ruby.
If Ruby is not installed, then download an installation package from rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org. Follow the download link, and run the resulting installer. This is an exe like ruby186-25.exe and will be installed in a single click. You may as well install everything . It’s a very small package, and you’ll get RubyGems as well alongwith this package. Please check Release Notes for more detail.
With RubyGems loaded, you can install all of Rails and its dependencies through the command line:

C:\> gem install rails --include-dependencies

Keeping Rails Up-to-Date:

Assuming you installed Rails using RubyGems, keeping up-to-date is relatively easy. Issue the following command:

tp> gem update rails

This will automatically update your Rails installation. The next time you restart your application it will pick up this latest version of Rails. While giving this command, make sure you are connected to the internet.

Installation Verification

You can verify if everything is setup according to your requirements or not. Use the following command to create a demo project.

tp> rails demo

This will generate a demo rail project, we will discuss about it later. Currently we have to check if envrionment is setup or not. Now next use the following command to run WEBrick web server on your machine.

tp> cd demo
tp> ruby script/server
=> Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options
[2007-02-26 09:16:43] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1
[2007-02-26 09:16:43] INFO ruby 1.8.2 (2004-08-24)...
[2007-02-26 09:16:43] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer-start:pid=2836...
....

Now open your browser and type the following address text box.

http://localhost:3000
