I’m a fairly new programmer, and I jump back and forth between PHP C# and Ruby. I’m trying to install a restful-authentication plugin but I can’t get it to install into my ruby directory. I have looked it up and folowed the tutorials but no luck. I’ve tried C:\ruby\>script/plugin source [http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/](http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/) ‘script’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:\ruby\>ruby install git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git ruby: No such file or directory – install (LoadError) I’m working from windowsXP 64 platform also using Netbeans as my ide. I know it’s simple …but i’m stuck lol ---

If not, then you won’t be able to install plugins from Git repositories. ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

Use Authlogic or something reasonable instead. 🙂 > but I can’t get it > to install into my ruby directory.

Of course it isn’t. The script directory lives inside your Rails app. You need to be at the root directory of your Rails application to run that. Your prompt implies that you are not in that directory. And you just want script/plugin install, not script/plugin source. […] > I’m working from windowsXP 64 platform also using Netbeans as my ide. I would recommend that you drop NetBeans. Rails works best without an IDE in my opinion. Just use a good editor (I like KomodoEdit, but there are many others). I’d also recommend dropping Windows; too much of Rails relies on a \*nix toolset. There are some ready-to-go Rails \*nix VMs out there; I’ve been hearing good things about VirtualRails. > I know it’s simple …but i’m stuck lol ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid
