hi Rich, since you already have ruby and rubygems up and running, the only reason IMO you should not prefer the command line would be that you don't have internet connection (and then you have to dowload packages on another computer).
there will certainly (and rapidly) be a module or tool that you'll want to use in your app that isn't already packaged, so you'll have no other solution than the command line. for windows users (as i used to be myself), the command line looks like the old wash-machine of your grand-mother : rustic, not sexy, has been... but everyone knows those machines never brake, and wash better :) so there it is : the command line wash whiter ;-) On 20 juil, 23:34, Rich d <[email protected]> wrote: > i am running windows vista and am working on the download of ruby and > rails......so heres what i just did ......I downloaded and installed > ruby 1.9.1-p429 > then I downloaded and installed rubygems 1.3.7 ......my next > question: would it be better to install rails through the command > line? or to download it as a standalone package? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
