Steps for Upgrading Ruby Installer for Windows from 1.8.6 to 1.8.7 -


i need upgrade ruby 1.8.6 1.8.7 on windows , use 1 click installer. don't use scite (i use rubymine don't think makes difference).

if has done appreciate knowing steps took. example did uninstall 1.8.6 first? assume afterwards need manually install gems not plugins? , there pitfalls watch out for?

thanks

if installed ruby using one-click installer, suggest leave installation alone , install newer rubyinstaller in new directory.

rubyinstaller , one-click differ lot in technical aspects, affect upgrade path (override or install on top of it)

also, old one-click installer had bad habit of removing gems , customizations, make pull hair.

my recommendation be:

  1. get list of installed gems (gem list) in case want install them again
  2. install rubyinstaller in different directory (by default c:\ruby187)
  3. install missing gems

if use rails , bundler, gem installation beyond gem install bundler not necessary.

hope helps.
