Setup Ruby and Components

1) Download Ruby from this location (32 bit installer works with 64 bit machines too, so please go ahead and download Ruby 2.0.0-p575). It is okay to install newer versions too like Ruby 2.1.3, however I have used 2.0.0

 http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

2) Double click the .exe file and accept the defaults

3) Do not forget to click on “Add Ruby executables to your PATH”

4) Generally installs to C:\Ruby200 for windows machines

5) Open a command prompt and verify that Ruby is installed. Ex. below

6) Download and Extract Devkit ( Download the one underneath the text “For use with Ruby 2.0 and 2.1 (32bit version only)” )

a) Double click the .exe file. The extractor would open

b) Extract the files to C:\RubyDevkit

7) Install Devkit

8) Download and Install Ruby Mine Editor (Free Evaluation for 30 days)

Download the RubyMine-6.3.3.exe anywhere on your machine and double click and accept all defaults.

Tip: Most of them are really impressed with the editor that they end up paying a small license fee. For running scripts using cucumber and Ruby, we can use command line too, however while developing scripts RubyMine makes our lives so much easier.
