Installing FxRuby on Windows - ruby

Simple question: How to install FxRuby on windows.
I have installed ruby 1.9 using one click installer from http://rubyinstaller.org/

Just open up command prompt and type:
gem install fxruby
It will then be installed and ready to use. To use it in your applications, just place:
require 'fox16'
at the top of your file.

In 1.9.2 it is included in Windows package so no gem download needed.
It does not appear in the gem list though, buts it's there.

As of 1.6.20, installation can be performed using gem install fxruby:

Installing gem-bundle for Redmine 2.1.4 with Ruby 1.9.3 (including rmagick 2.13.1) on Windows

I'm having problems installing json or rmagick gems on Windows, which I need because I am trying to install Redmine 2.1.4.
As none of the procedures worked out-of-the-box for me and have struggled with it myself for a couple of hours, I thought I'd just ask here for help.
I'm assuming you don't have Ruby installed yet. If you do, as any of other components mentioned below, probably it's the wisest to uninstall them before proceeding with installation.
This tutorial should help you avoid problems with json and rmagick gems on Windows.
First, download Redmine 2.1.4 from rubyforge as zip or from SVN or Git as described on the relevant Redmine Wiki page. rubyforge tends not to work, so you can be forced to use the latter.
Download RubyInstaller (1.9.3 at the time of this writing) and DevelopmentKit from rubyinstaller.org
Install Ruby using the downloaded installer. Use a directory without spaces in name, i.e. don't install it to Program Files. I checked the options as below
Open command line, check if Ruby path has been added to your system. ruby --version should show the version installed, 1.9.3 in my case. If you had command line opened while installing Ruby, close and reopen it to load path.
Extract DevKit to a path with no spaces. Change to DevKit's directory (might be e.g. under Ruby's installation, i.e. C:\Ruby193\DevKit). Execute the following:
ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb review (should detect Ruby's installation path correctly)
ruby dk.rb install
Install bundler gem gem install bundler
Go to Redmine home directory. Execute bundle install. You will probably (if not yet fixed) get the rmagick error - don't worry yet.
Go get ImageMagick. I picked ImageMagick-6.8.0-7-Q16-windows-dll.exe. Install to a directory whose path doesn't include spaces, e.g. C:\ImageMagick. Choose to install header files as well, as below:
Add ImageMagick home to path. Close command line and reopen it. This will reload path.
Execute `gem install rmagick --platform=ruby -- --with-opt-lib=c:/ImageMagick/lib --with-opt-include=c:/ImageMagick/include
Go to Redmine home directory again. Execute bundle install again. Should work now.
Hope that helps!

How to install a ruby gem on windows 7

Sorry to ask such a basic question. I'm trying to install tiny_tds as explain on this page. I've tried $ gem install tiny_tds, I'm getting error: Syntaxt error, unexpected $undefined. If I remove $, the error becomes undefined local variable or methos "tiny_tds". I don't know where to start to install a gem. I'm using the ruby command prompt.
Thanks for helping
I guess you should try railsinstaller for windows that includes rubygems. Then gem install tiny_tds in the command prompt.
You need to download the Ruby installer depending on you systems settings (32 or 64 bit) and the ruby development kit in order to run command lines. Here is a link to the installer and a simple guide for installing the DevKit for ruby on windows (this one is to make jekyll run on windows, jekyll is other ruby gem):

Cannot install Ruby Gems in Windows 7

I have successfully installed Ruby Gems on my Mac many times. I need to configure a Windows 7 Enterprise virtual machine with Compass, Sass and Suzy.
I downloaded an installed Ruby on the Windows machine with the installer, 1.9.3. I ran gem update --system which updated Rubygems to 1.8.4.
I was able to install Sass 3.2 by running gem install sass
However, if I run gem install compass or gem install susy I get an error:
Error while excecuting gem .. (ArgumentError) marshall data too short
Any ideas? At this point, I can't install those gems.
The alternative solution..: Download gem compass from here to your ruby root folder. Then try again
gem install compass
It should install this time..Good luck
Had same issue, updating rubygems system solved it. Just use the following command
gem update --system
For those finding this question, many great tips here. Using them, I found this solution to work:
At the N: prompt in "start command line with ruby environment", I used the command rmdir /S .gem which deleted all gems. I then installed them again with gem install as directed on their respective host web pages. Hope this helps someone.

Playing sound in Ruby 1.9.2 on Windows 7?

When I follow this tutorial on Ruby 1.9.2 on Win 7, I get this error:
Is there a simpler way to play a sound? (specifically, wav)
The problem is that you're using Ruby 1.9.2 and the binary gem for win32-sound, the binary, has not been compiled or made compatible with Ruby 1.9.x, only Ruby 1.8
You can skip this using the RubyInstaller DevKit downloadable from RubyInstaller website.
Please follow the instructions from the DevKit page to complete the installation. Also note that to install win32-sound, you will need to change the command for the gem installation.
First:
gem list win32
gem list windows
Uninstall all the win32- and windows gems
Then:
gem install win32-sound --platform=ruby
That should install and compile a binary compatible with your installed Ruby.
Hope that helps

install bcrypt-ruby on windows

I have copy the make.bat to bin\ folder,when run the command gem install bcrypt-ruby,
it shows the bash.exe is not the internal or external command.
How to solve it?
I was trying to install "bcrypt-ruby" on Windows 8, 64 bit .
Tried a lot of configurations, ranging from different versions of the gem, direct from git, platform ruby etc.
But nothing worked
At the end installed DEVKIT compatible to my ruby version and thats it.
Steps
Install Devkit compatible to your ruby version
Link : http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
Download under
C:/Ruby Folder/devkit
Then on command line go to above path
C:/Ruby Folder/devkit
then say
gem install bcrypt-ruby
This should install it,
Post this, you need to add the gem to your Gemfile and say
bundle install
bundle update
bundle install
This should work fine. Also solves update issues related to active_record etc.
The same should work for WIN 64, WIN 32 also.
