This is not a guide for those who are trying their best to not use Unix like environment in develop Rails application. This is more like a guide to do almost everything in Linux without replacing your Windows.

What about simply downloading ruby-installer and devkit[1] installing those and then running:

gem update --system

gem install rails

rails new mynewapp

For someone experimenting with rails it's more than enough!
