Problems installing Ruby and MSYS2 on Windows 8

I'm trying to run my Jekyll blog (previously created on a Linux machine) on a pc running Windows 8.

I just installed Ruby + MSYS via RubyInstaller

NOTE For MSYS I executed:

ridk install 1 2 3

Now I'm trying to run (in MSYS):

gem install jekyll bundler

but I'm getting gem command is not recognized, same for ruby.

Is there something wrong with my installation or am I missing something?

Solution

  • I solved simply adding Ruby bin folder to my PATH variable.

    In my case:

    PATH=$PATH:/c/Ruby/bin
