Treehouse Guest TeacherRichard Duffy do you get any errors at all? Does it give any output? Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? The ruby source code is about 15-20mb so it shouldn't take too long of a time to download.
Jason Seifer
Treehouse Guest TeacherRichard Duffy it looks like it is having problems downloading the installation files. Maybe it's your connection? Can you give it another try and if that doesn't work, try from another internet connection?

16,488 PointsJason Seifer is there an alternative to installation other than the command line?
Richard Duffy

Richard Duffy
16,488 PointsYeah, I am, I followed the tutorial that Jason gave. I hooked up my macbook to my phone's mobile internet and it still stuck on make, it also makes my macbook lag, I have the latest macbook air.

16,488 PointsHello Jason Seifer ,
thank you for getting back to me, I left it overnight and it was still stuck. There are no errors and sometimes terminal crashes

16,488 PointsCould the problem also be that I deleted the rbenv folder yesterday? But I did this before trying to install it.
Jason Seifer
Treehouse Guest TeacherYes, that could be an problem as well. Try starting over again and see if that helps.

16,488 PointsJason Seifer Thank you! I will try this again :).
