​I would suggest doing ruby development on a linux VM instead of windows.

Your can install any ruby version using RVM.

Thanks, Ganesh​

There is no RVM on windows, which we can imply as the OPs system because of .exe fileextension.

I still suggest using rvm. If that is not available on Windows then don't use windows. That is only my suggestion. Others may have other suggestions.

Using Linux plus RVM (or similar) is also my suggestion in most cases. But throwing just RVM to an obvious windowsuser is a little rude I think, if something is not available on the platform in question, one should always suggest to switch platform and then to use the better toolbox over there.

​Moving to Linux now on a VM saves a ton of headache later.

It was unintentional, but in fact I believe rvm can be used with cygwin (though I would not recommend it) and a little time ago I read that Win support was planned, though searching now it seems that is not likely to be soon.

uru ( Bitbucket ) is suggested as an alternative by the pik readme
