I'm looking for a good Ruby IDE for Windows 7
Can anyone recommend one, and explain how to install it?
Answer 51e28cf48c1cccc7e6002b0b
Are you really looking for a full-blown IDE (as in integrated development environment), or just for a way of running Ruby programs locally on your Windows machine?
If it’s the latter, take a look at RubyInstaller.
If you really need all the features and added complexity of the former, there are plenty of options in this SO thread, of which I personally only tried (but wasn’t particularly impressed by) Aptana Studio.
Alternatives (one uglier than the next) seem to be NetBeans, whose Ruby support is no longer built in but has to be added separately, and Arcadia, which, as far as I can tell, is the only one written in Ruby.
But unless you intend to build large libraries and really need all that IDE jazz, I’d recommend to just try the old school approach: a good text editor with syntax highlighting, a browser window with the Ruby documentation, and a command-line terminal window (such as Cygwin or the built-in Windows Powershell) with irb
(or better yet, pry) to test and execute Ruby snippets.

You are partially right, but to be more precise this is not an IDE, it’s just a programming text editor.
