New to Ruby Rails

Cheers,

I am thinking of pursuing to study RoR, so I started with downloading and installing NetBeans 6.1 and it seems to be a good IDE to start diving into Ruby. However, since I dont have an Internet connection at home I am a bit lost when it comes to installing Gems, is there a way for me to download Gems offline and install it in my home machine offline?

Thanks.

Hi,

    You can download the gems from the http://rubyforge.org/ . You must download the .gem file. Place that gem in your drive.Go to that path in the command prompt.Install it from offline.

Ex :- I have downloaded one gem and copied it into my c drive

     C:\ gem install <gem file name here>

   Hope this helpful 2 u.

Thanks this is what I looking for.
