Install Ruby Stack on windows

As ruby on rails can also be deployed in windows server, you might need to download and install several components that requires for ruby on rails development.

After I did some research on internet and did manual installation of all the required software and components for windows development, I found it really hard just to install all these software packs.

Bitnami has so many use full one-click deployment stack that's so useful for beginner like us to develop and deply Ruby on rails application with one click.

Run the following command to trace the installation errors which might happens sometimes.
"K:\Software\For Windows\Ruby On Rails\bitnami-rubystack-2.0.0-18-windows-installer.exe" --debugtrace C:\output.log

You can check out more about bitnami stack from here.

You can just download the windows stack and click install to install the whole stack that're required for developing ruby on rails application app on windows.

Make sure you disable your AntiVirus, Windows defender and firewall with full administer access to avoid the disruption with the installation.

If your port 80 is already binded from another application, just use 8080 for web port and 442 as SSL port. As this will be just used for development only, these port really doesn't matter.

For Ruby development IDE, Ruby Mine works great with full syntax recognition and intellisense.
