I am just starting out, I downloaded Aptana studio and installed it with  
the RoR plugin, do I also need the InstantRails 2.0? If so is there a  
document that relates how to make the Aptana file work with the  
InstantRails.

You need to download Ruby 1.8.6 and install it. Install rubygems  
unless you used ruby windows installer. Then fire up console and  
execute ‘gem install rails’. The last thing you need to do is choose  
correct ruby interpreter in aptana properties. I’m not sure how to do  
that since i haven’t used aptana for long time.
