windows-installation-ruby.mkd

To get everything configured, please install the following:

+ Ruby Installer for Windows http://rubyinstaller.org/
+ Git for Windows (which, importantly, includes Git Bash): https://git-for-windows.github.io/

We recommend making a shortcut to Git Bash in a convenient place.

+ GitHub Desktop https://desktop.github.com/

+ You'll need to create a free GitHub account in order to use it: https://github.com

You don't strictly need GitHub Desktop, but you may find that it's the easiest way to use GitHub on Windows.

+ Heroku Toolbelt: https://toolbelt.heroku.com/

You'll also need a free Heroku account to use this.

Then do `gem install rails`. We prefer to use the Ruby installer, and then manually install rails, over using the Rails Installer.
