These are my notes for installing rails, maybe something in there will help: Try: C:\>gem install rails --include-dependencies or: C:\>gem install rails -remote (answer “y” to all five questions) If they both fail, download the latest rails.gem file from [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=307](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=307) Install the downloaded gem via the command line: C:\My downloads\Ruby project\>gem install rails -remote Mikel [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: Dear Unni, It may be worth it to go and read: > **[Resume Builder](https://resumebuild.com/)** > > RESUME BUILDER Online.

You probably knew about it, but if you are newbie just like me you should install InstantRails (unless you want it the “hard” way). hope it help On Jun 28, 7:22 am, Unni K. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)
