    *nix is much better for development in general, and those who disagree are just plain wrong (in my supreme opinion). Still, sometimes we are forced to work on Windows (someone from “above” orders such an unspeakable thing, and the others, lesser human beings are oblidged to comply).

    * Ruby Istaller

    Download:

    [[https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/]]

    Install Ruby somewhere in under ~C:\~, like ~C:\Ruby25-x64~, and make sure to check the option that adds Ruby executables to your path, and also check the option to associate ~.rb~ files with the Ruby installation.

    * DevKit

    [[https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/]]

    Install it under ~<Path-To-Your-Ruby-Install-Div\devkit~, something like:

    : C:\Ruby25-x64\devkit

    With the command line, navigate to that directory and run:

    : ruby dk.rb init

    ** config.yml

    Then open ~C:\Ruby25-x64\devkit\config.yml~ and add the line:

    : - C:/Ruby25-x64

    Note that we used a forward slash “/” in this specific case, not the windows style backslash “\”.

    Then run:

    : ruby dk.rb install

    * Gems Sources

    And we also need setup the gem sources. For this company, we need to remove the “https” url because the firewall is blocking it for some reason... and... add only the “http” one.

    #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
    gem sources --add http://rubygems.org
    gem sources --remove https://rubygems.org
    gem sources --clear
    gem sources --update
    #+END_EXAMPLE
