Ruby on Rails Windows Installation Guide - Part 2

This is a simple installation of Ruby on Rails for Windows. I cover how to install Ruby, Rails, MySQL and the MySQL gem. I also give a brief look at two IDE's for Rails development on Windows, RubyMine and AptanaStudio.

Thanks for the help! I seem to be stuck again, though. Not sure if you've personally run into this, but I'll give asking you a try anyway: I'm having the same problem as @vandanpatel87. Whenever I call for a bundle update, or even bundle install, Apatana gives me the error, sh: /c/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.2/bi­­n/bundle: C:/Projects/railsinstaller/sta­­ge/Ruby1.9.2/bin/ruby.exe: bad interpreter: No such file or directory. Does anyone have a fix for this?

[SteveCavaliere]

@ThaCunningham Try doing "gem install rails" first in the command line before you try and do a bundle update.

Hey, man. Awesome tutorial! The only problem I have is the line you enter at about 2:05. Maybe I'm missing something, but could you just post the line? Thanks in advance.

[SteveCavaliere]

@ThaCunningham Here you go:

gem install mysql2-0.3.7.gem --platform=ruby -- --with-mysql-dir=X: --with-mysql-lib=X:\lib

Great video but how the hell is there not an easier way to install mySQL?

[SteveCavaliere]

@vivekmonkey There is, it's called using Linux.

[evilstalkerhorne]

@dfbgijwhrvhaewfowgeb Yeah, am reinstalling Aptana. Weirdly, in my previous installation, under Window>Preferences I couldn't see Ruby interpreter for which I could update the path to C:/RubyOnRails. There was a bunch of other interpreters for Python etc. but not for Ruby. In the clip, the Aptana version 3.0.5 is used. I am using 3.0.8 which is 4MB larger. Maybe the version causes the problem...

[dfbgijwhrvhaewfowgeb]

@latinuss1985 It keeps telling me that it can't access my bundle, two other people(I believe) on here has had the same problem, I followed Part 1 and Part 2 by the second, made sure I didnt miss a thing, but yet something went wrong somewhere.

[latinuss1985]

@dfbgijwhrvhaewfowgeb What was it?? I can't get aptana to work!!

[dfbgijwhrvhaewfowgeb]

@SteveCavaliere I have the same error, I used the code-line you have listed(except for me it is 0.3.11.gem) and I still have the error(s). Is there a fix or should i just use something else and not Aptana ?
