Error :: installing Rails on windows machine

Question

I tried installing ruby on my laptop with the configuration shown below:

• I followed the installation steps using this medium blog

• The environment variables were set up successfully, which I confirmed using the following commands:

  ruby --version ~ ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x64-mingw32]

  gem --version ~ 2.7.6

• Also, I installed a few gems which I was required such as:

  gem install make

  gem install pepipost_gem and few others.

The problem here is when I tried installing rails using the below command:

gem install rails

Some weird error arises can anyone help me in resolving this:

Answer 1

Finally, I was able to resolve the error.

The issue was with the version where I was using ruby ~ 2.5.1p57 and downloaded devkit separately due to which some misconfiguration occurred.

In order to resolve the error in dept, I reinstalled ruby with devkit and followed below steps

• Remove previously installed ruby (Uninstalled using windows uninstaller)

• Removed MSYS2 installer (devkit for ruby which I installed separately)

• Installed Ruby+Devkit 2.4.X as x64 from Ruby (Stable for the users who is new to ruby)

• Once Installation is done set your environment variable in order to access globally.

• check

  ruby --version ~ ruby 2.4.4p296 (2018-03-28 revision 63013) [x64-mingw32]

  gem --version ~ 2.6.14.1

• Installing rails Successfully

  gem install rails

  few lines of output
