I change the platform from Linux to Windows and use netbeans to develop  
The problem about database creation stay still

Could not find gem ‘mysql2 (\>= 0, runtime)’ in any of the gem sources.  
Could not find gem ‘pg (\>= 0, runtime)’ in any of the gem sources.

I this problem occur because I still not install gem for database yet.  
How to install it ?

```
                                          many thanks
```

First install ruby and rubygems, then install necessary gems with `gem install` command.  
Btw, mysql2 gem is not working on windows, try old mysql gem.
