While installing Rails on Windows 7 using following command, an error
was displayed and installation interrupted. Attached is the image.
gem install rails
How to rectify this error and what it means?
gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc
Nobody ever uses the stupid ri rdoc crap and there is always some issue
installing them.
You can also add this line to your ~/.gemrc file to make it the default:
gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc

What is ri and rdoc?
RDoc is system that generates documentation for the libraries you
install. ri is program that gives you command-line access to the same
documentation.
As an example, when you look at http://api.rubyonrails.org/ , you’re
looking at documentation generated by RDoc.
By default, when you install a gem, RubyGems also generates the ri and
RDoc documentation files for the gem, so that you can access this
documentation locally on your computer.
