Guys,

If you've been trying to install the latest heroku gem on Windows, you  
may have run into a bit of trouble.

Now that we include the taps gem, the heroku client has several new  
dependencies - most notably taps. Unfortunately, there are a couple of  
gems down the dependency chain whose Windows versions are lagging a  
bit behind. Here's what you need to do to make the install work:

1) Install SQLite 3

Go to http://www.sqlite.org/download.html and download the precompiled  
binaries for Windows. You'll need the command-line program and the  
DLL. It should be a total of 3 files, which you can paste in to c:\ruby 
\bin (that's the standard location chosen for ruby by the ruby one- 
click installer for Windows).

2) Install the sqlite3-ruby gem

The latest version (1.2.4) doesn't have a working Windows version, so  
you need to install the previous version: gem install sqlite3-ruby -v  
1.2.3.

3) Install the json gem

With this gem, you need to go several versions back and install 1.1.1:  
gem install json -v 1.1.1

4) Install the heroku gem

Finish off with gem install heroku to get the latest version of our  
rubygem.

This is obviously a little cumbersome. We're looking into how we can  
make the process smoother on Windows, but the easiest thing would be  
to get those gems caught up version-wise. Feel free to make your  
Windows needs known to the maintainers :)

Finally, show of hands - if you don't mind - how many of you guys are  
using Windows?

Best,

/Morten
