in the next couple of days i am going to download and install both ruby and rails and was wondering if i should use “instant raila” or the "one click installer? i just want to make sure i get everything i need to use them. i have ordered the book simply rails 2 and it suggests using instant rails rather than the one click installer. ``` Thanks. Dave. ``` ---

With Instant Rails you get a full stack to start developing Rails including MySQL I believe. The O. Click Installer is just Ruby - you’ll need to set up the rest yourself. If you’re a beginner and the book favors Instant Rails, then by all means go for that. – Roderick van Domburg [http://www.nedforce.com](http://www.nedforce.com)
