JRuby on Windows

Hi,

I just downloaded JRuby and am trying to run it, but whenever i type
jruby on the command prompt (Windows XP), I get “The system cannot find
the file specified” even when running it from jruby’s bin directory. I
have set the JRUY_HOME variable and added the jruby\bin folder to PATH.
What am I missing?

Did you install with teh windows installer?

If you did indeed set the JRUY_HOME variable, you may have more success
with the JRUBY_HOME variable.

Don’t know if that was a typo in the post or how you actually spelled it
in the environment variables

Hi Omar,

You’re using the latest JRuby 1.4 on Windows? How did you install it?
Via installer or just unzipping?

All that JRuby really needs these days is to be in your PATH. No need
to set JRUBY_HOME, for example.
And the installer can help out with PATH as well, so all you really
need to do is to just run the installer, and that’s it.

One hint: I suggest not to use paths with spaces. Install in
something like C:\jruby or similar.

Thanks,
–Vladimir
