 Following the steps below carefully will be answer to these errors

  • Go to http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

  • Complete the installtion by going through installer that you have downloaded
  • At time of installing Keep the default directory  to C:\Ruby200-x64 if possible, please note installer advises that 'Please avoid any folder name that contains spaces (e.g. My Ruby).'

Install DevKit



  • The DevKit is a toolkit that makes it easy to build and use native C/C++ extensions for Ruby on Windows. 
  • Now first Go to http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ again.
  • Download “DEVELOPMENT KIT” installer that matches the Windows architecture and the Ruby version just installed. For instance, DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx.exe is for 64-bit Windows with Ruby 2.0.0 x64. These are versions that i am using

  • Here is a list about how to choose the correct DevKit version:
  1. Ruby 1.8.6 to 1.9.3: DevKit tdm-32-4.5.2
  2. Ruby 2.0.0: DevKit mingw64-32-4.7.2
  3. Ruby 2.0.0 x64: DevKit mingw64-64-4.7.2
  • Run the installer and extract it to a folder, e.g. C:\DevKit.
  • Initialize and create config.yml file. Type in the following commands in command Prompt window:


cd “C:\DevKit”
ruby dk.rb init
notepad config.yml



  • In opened notepad window, add a new line - C:\Ruby200-x64 at the end, SAVEand close.



  • Back to the Command Prompt, review (optional) and install.
