How to install RMagick gem in Ruby 1.8.6 MingW?


Do you have a detailed guide for this? Thanks a lot :)


Solution

  • in Windows:

    gem install rmagick --source http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/61207/rmagick-2.11.0.gem
    

    but according to this Installation Faq you need to install ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick first
