I am new to Ruby and am trying to download the Framework Dashing (http://dashing.io/)

Here is what I have done so far:

  • Downloaded RubyDownloader and ran it
  • Downloaded dashing-1.3.4.gem
  • Opened Start Command Prompt with Ruby

I am now currently confused on what to do next. I have tried reading and watching many tutorials and all it suggests is to install more software.

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be great!

Run gem source and make sure https://rubygems.org/ and http://rubygems.org are both present; if only the former, run gem source -a http://rubygems.org to add the (insecure) HTTP-only connection to the list. See if that helps.

FYI, you will also need the Ruby devkit for part of Dashing.

Read the section "Getting Started" on that framework's home page. You should not ever have to download .gem files for gems you want to install. Instead, run this:

gem install dashing

  • Thanks Adrian I wrote gem install dashing into the Start Command Prompt With Ruby and I received - "ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'dashing' (>=0)". – user964111 Jan 02 '15 at 18:31
  • Try running `ruby -v` and tell me what that outputs – Adrian Jan 02 '15 at 18:34
  • ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13 revision 48405) [x64-mingw32] – user964111 Jan 02 '15 at 18:35
  • Hmm... my only other suggestion would be to run `gem sources -a https://rubygems.org` and then try `gem install dashing` again. I don't know anything about windows unfortunately. – Adrian Jan 02 '15 at 18:37
  • After adding 'gem sources -a https://rubygems.org' I received "Error fetching https://rubygems.org: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0" – user964111 Jan 02 '15 at 18:41
