2. downloaded .zip package of ruby gems, extracted and run setup. gem -  
v  
= 0.9.4
3. downloaded all dependencies rake, activesupport,active record,  
actionpack,actionwebservice, actionmailer and installed using - gem  
install  
gemname --local command
4. downloaded rails.gem and installed using - gem install rails –  
local.  
rails -v = Rails 1.2.3
5. added c:\ruby\bin to path variable.
6. created an app using - rails app
7. changed to that folder and issued - ruby script/server  
this command gives only the following output  
c:\ruby\bin\app\>ruby script/server

1. try instant rails:  
[http://rubyforge.org/projects/instantrails/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/instantrails/)

2. you don’t have to say you’re desperate, this list’s population is  
very helpful (and sharp).
