If you have ruby already, you can simply type gem install rails however, i’d recommend that you _don’t_ do this as you’ll probably be learning from books and online tutorials, which are a bit broken with the latest version of rails, due to some changes to do with REST. instead, type gem install rails -v1.2.3 version 1.2.3 works with the tutorials. Learn 1.2.3 first and then progress to the latest version (which is more RESTful) once you’ve got your head around it. That’s my advice anyway. If you don’t have ruby yet, have a look here for download options - [http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/) ---

So I thought to write a how to: 1) Download latest stable release of Ruby from on to your computer. 2) Run the execu… Just leave the part of Sybase installation unless you are compelled to do that and have a licensed copy of sybase 😉 ---
