I am so confused. Where do you in stall this? From gitbash? From command line. I type irb and then require 'rubygems' and =>false is returned. And what directory am i supposed to be in. Sorry, but these lessons kind of suck for Windows - i didn't have any of these problems with PHP.

Courses Plus Student 4,201 PointsI am sure you figured this out by now, but when Rubygems => false it means they are already required on the windows system.
