Rails - Jan 2012 - Installing Ruby/TroubleShoot

I am having trouble with the Ruby on Rails for a windows 7 PC.

During the installation on Ruby it said missing file ''lib''

Then every time I try to generate a scaffold or controller it says
 Could not find a JavaScript runtime. See
https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs for a list of available runtimes.
(ExecJS: :RuntimeUnavailable)

You "may" be able to find a work-around for this issue as follows:

* edit the Gemfile
* add the line to the bottom

  gem ''therubyracer''

* rerun

  bundle install

I am not sure this will work on your set-up, but you could try. If it
does not help, remove that newly added line  and rerun

  bundle install

HTH,

Peter

For some reason exejs is failing to find "cscript" (The default
Windows JavaScript script engine) in your system.

You can workaround that by installing latest Node.JS from here:

http://blog.nodejs.org/2012/01/19/node-v0-6-8/

(Use the MSI installer)

After you installed, close all the Command Prompt windows you have
open and open them again, which will update the PATH so node.exe is
accessible.

You can verify it worked by doing:

C:\>node --version
v0.6.8

That should be the output.

After that ExecJS should be working properly.
