ok... uhm
How do I start Ruby on Rails?
I downloaded this ... "rubyinstaller-1.8.7-p357.exe" and ran it.
Now there is nothing? (it didn't make a program or an icon on my desktop. I don't know what it did)
I also got this thing...

yeah... I have no idea what I'm doing.

I saw a couple videos.
something about a command line & bash script or something?

yeah. I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.

here is what I know.
I know how to write PHP, I know how to write HTML, I know how to write CSS, I know how to write JavaScript.
When I put these things together I simply upload them to a 1and1 server. That is it. I do nothing else but make files and upload them with an FTP client.

That command line stuff is ALIEN!!! http://i.imgur.com/siKNH.png !!!
I've never run anything like Xampp on my own computer. 1and1 has done all that stuff for me.

Ok... with all that being said. What do I need to do to get a rails project to setup and ran?

Hi, sorry it took so long to reply. I use XAMPP and like you, do not know very much, especially command line things.

If you go to the Apache Friends Forum for that: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewforum.php?f=34
I found the forum helpful when I had questions.

Hope this helps you to get started - there is a lot to learn, so take it one step at a time.
