hello there,
i am an absolute beginner, so my question might seem rather silly. i
just installed ruby 186-25 using the windows installer- my computer is
windows xp.
my first step was to follow the "ruby in twenty minutes" tutorial. at
a certain point they tell you to close the fxri consule in order to
create a ruby program on a file. so far so good. they then tell you
to run the file by typing "ruby ri20min.rb"
here is the tutorial: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/quickstart/3/
that is all fine, but my question is: where do you type that command
line?
another tutorial i was looking at said to find out what version you
have installed to type "ruby -v" in the shell - but what exact is the
shell? the unix shell? if i am using windows xp where do i find that
exactly?
i know this may be a really silly question, and i bet it's so simple
that they don't post this information anywhere. i'm almost
embarrassed to ask. but i'd appreciate a kick start here- thanks!
