Installing RubyGem - Howto

[Richard Lionheart]

Hi All,

I want to install RubyGem on a WinXP/SP2 system. I just installed ruby
1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]. And I downloaded rubygems-0.8.11.zip from
SourceForge.

I checked some of the Gems documentation and found what seems the relevant
guidance: http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3 says one should run "ruby
setup.rb". I checked the .zip file and found a setup.rb with
"rubygems-0.8.11" path.

But I left wondering whether I should unzip the entire rubygems-0.8.11
directory into my ruby directory, and then make the ruby\rubygems-0.8.11 the
working directory as I run the "ruby setup.rb" command.

Or should I expand the zip file into a temp subdirectory and then expect the
setup mechanism to copy the zip content into the ruby structure.

Amy suggestions?

Hi All,

Problem solved! I downloaded the one-click installer. It's aptly named.
