Ruby Installer Overview

RubyInstaller is the standard way to install the Ruby programming language on Windows. It packages the Ruby interpreter together with a compatible build toolchain (the MSYS2 development environment) so that native gems — Ruby libraries with C extensions — can be compiled and installed correctly on Windows, which is historically the trickiest part of Ruby on the platform. The 'Ruby+Devkit' version bundles everything needed to start developing, including RubyGems for package management and an option to add Ruby to the system PATH. It is the recommended installer for Ruby and Ruby on Rails development on Windows. The offline installer is the full setup and installs without a network connection. It also bundles the irb interactive shell and documentation, and it uninstalls cleanly when no longer needed. You can reach the official Ruby Installer download from Rubyinstaller via the link on this page.

Common Ruby Installer Installation Issues & Fixes

Ran into a problem? Here are the most common issues and how to fix them:

⚠️

Installation fails with an error message about missing dependencies.

Ensure that your Windows system is updated and that you have all necessary Windows components installed. You may also need to install Visual C++ Redistributable if prompted.

Ruby commands not recognized in the command prompt after installation.

Make sure to add Ruby to your system PATH during installation. If you missed this step, you can manually add the Ruby bin directory to your PATH environment variable.

Ruby Installer Offline Installer FAQ

Should I install the Ruby+Devkit version?
For most developers, yes. The Ruby+Devkit build includes the MSYS2 toolchain needed to compile native gems (Ruby libraries with C extensions), which many projects require on Windows. The plain build omits it. This page links to the official source.
Is RubyInstaller the official way to get Ruby on Windows?
RubyInstaller is the widely recommended and community-standard way to install Ruby on Windows, providing the interpreter and build tools together. On macOS and Linux, Ruby is typically installed through a version manager or package manager instead.
