Now ridk uses msys2, so we’ll be installing that during this step as well. Ruby DevKit used to be a thing for windows. However, that led to a pitfall later in the process where I’d see that nokogiri is not currently supported on Ruby 2.7, so I need to pin the 2.6.x package, which we’ll do during this tutorial for this reason. The Windows Way Before we Begin: Pitfalls we’ll be avoidingįYI: Normally, I’d run choco install ruby -y, which would install ruby v2.7.0.1 at the time of this writing.
