OK, I''ve heard how easy RoR is and how quick it is to develop with ... but why is it so obscure to find what it is I need to download to install it? I can''t follow what I need to do from this initial message: Source: Compile it yourself Windows installer: Ruby, popular extensions, editor OS X: Ships with broken Ruby, follow this guide Do I need the source? What is the ''broken source''? Sounds bad to me. Went into the Windows Installer and there are two files to downlaod - an exe and a md5 - Do I need both of these? And then there is the issue of RubyGems and perhaps a Rails install. Can anyone help me here?

Go to www.ruby-lang.org and download the windows installer .exe. You don''t need the .md5. Run that to setup Ruby. It installs rubygems for you at the same time, so you don''t need to worry about that. You''ll need a database too. Go to mysql.com and download MySQL 5.0 for windows and install that. Then go to a command prompt and: gem install rails -y That''s all you need to install. You''re ready to create your Rails app. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks for your help! I''m sure the RoR download website could be a little more helpful for us real newbies. Thanks for the extra info on MySQL - I have that installed already so at least that''s one hurdle I don''t need to negotiate :) Thanks once again.

If you''re on Windows and are just flirting with RoR, InstantRails (although a large package) is a great idea. Cheers, Mohit. 8/23/2007 | 5:03 PM. RoxyNelson wrote:> Thanks for your help!
