rvm install on window

The alternative to rvm on windows is : https://github.com/vertiginous/pik/


1. http://www.rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ , intall the ruby1.8.7-p334 . The installer does not add it in your path .. so add C:/Ruby187/bin in your path ( or whereever you have intalled it ) /

2. gem install rake

3. gem install isolate

4. gem install pik

5. pik_install c:/tools

6. add c:/tools to your path .

7. vi ~/.bash_profile and add :

[[ -s $USERPROFILE/.pik/.pikrc ]] && source $USERPROFILE/.pik/.pikrc

if that doesnt work , add :
[[ -s /c/Documents\ and\ Settings/test/.pik/.pikrc ]] && source /c/Documents\ and\ Settings/test/.pik/.pikrc
Note : the "test" is the name of my user on the machine .. it will be different for you .

8. pik list

9. pik install ruby
It installed the ruby 1.9.2 for me .
