Instiki users - Jul 2005 - [Instiki] Gem install not starting.

After downloading the ''*.gem'' file for instiki, I installed it
by running
"gem install instiki-0.10.2" from the windows XP command line.
Received a
''successful install'' message. Executing "ruby
instiki" produced a ''file not
found'' error. How should I start instiki? What am I missing?

It would be a good idea to include the exact error message with your 
question.

In the absense of it, I can hazard a guess that as you are doing a local 
install (downloading the .gem manually, and then installing it). 
RubyGems doesn''t take care about installing dependencies (rails, 
madeleine, rubyzip, redcloth etc) in this scenario.

What I suggest is to "gem uninstall instiki", and then do a remote 
installation ("gem install instiki"). Answer yes to all suggestions to
download dependencies. If you cannot do remote gem installation (happens 
with some firewalls and proxied internet connections), you should 
download a .zip - it contains all dependencies inside. Hope this helps.
