Rails - May 2006 - Installing a standalone package of rails

I recently downloaded a standalone package of rails, release 0.12.1 
(.zip) but I don''t know how to install. When I unzip, I get a lot of 
-sometimes empty- folders. Should I copy these folders? If so, where 
should I copy them?
I hope you can help me!

Did you install InstantRails?

You will find it here:
http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Instant_Rails

Follow the instructions there and you should be ready to go,

I installed InstantRails (and it works fine) but I have to use another 
Rails version because a tutorial (Rails in 4 days) uses it too. The 
problem is I don''t know what to do with the standalone package of rails
(copy, install, something else...).
I also downloaded a .gem file of the same version, but the same for this 
one: I don''t know how to install. When I type "gem install 
rails-0.12.1.gem" in the command box, it doesn''t work.
Newbee... :(

I suggest you use another tutorial. Here is a lista of tutorials:

Obie Fernandez says about the Rails in 4 days: "should not be used by 
absolute beginners wanting to teach themselves Rails"
