How do install the MySQL2 gem with Ruby v2.0?

Question

I was able to install the MySQL gem using:

subst X: "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6" 
gem install mysql2 --platform=ruby -- --with-mysql-dir=X: --with-mysql-lib=X:\lib\opt 
subst X: /D

Now I need to install the MySQL2 gem. Can some please help me?

I saw your other question about starting rails server.

My recommendation is that you train using Railstutorial. The link is here .

It will walk you through the process of getting a working environment running and writing Rails code.
