Join Morten Rand-Hendriksen for an in-depth discussion in this video Installing Ruby, part of WordPress: Developing with Sass and Grunt.js.
- To be able to run Sass on Windows…I also need to install Ruby.…Now Ruby itself is available from ruby-line-org.…However, if you want to install Ruby on a Windows computer…you instead have to go to rubyinstaller.org.…Now here's a really strange thing.…When I go to rubyinstaller.org,…and try to download the application using Chrome…I end up with a file I can't use, that just causes problems.…So instead, to get the proper download…I have to use a different browser.…So in my case, I'm using Firefox.…Here I am in Firefox on rubyinstaller.org,…and to get the download I'm going to click on download.…
Here I get a list of all the different versions…that I can install.…So here you see we have Ruby 2.2.1…and I have both the x86 version at the top…and the x64 version below.…So here you have to pick whatever version works best…with your current operating system.…I'm on Windows 8, 64-bit, so I'm going to…select the 64-bit option here.…Just click on it to start the download.…Download it onto my computer.…And once the download is complete…
