Did you use the installers from here? http://rubyinstaller.org/ Did you check the option during installation to "Add Ruby executable to PATH"? > I used window-installer for this ruby release but after installing i can > not install any gems like rails or wxruby . After tipping in cmd : gem > install rails,it sais gem is not a internal or external command. I'm not aware of any Window-installer, you refer to RubyInstaller? Please see my previous comment about the lack of checking the box during installation. Even if you don't added to the path, you can start a personalized command prompt from the application folder named "Command Prompt with Ruby 1.8.7" HTH, -- Luis Lavena
