Under System Variables, select Path and click EDIT.
Add the Ruby directory at the end of the list of variable values and click OK.
Under System Variables, select PATHEXT and click EDIT.
Add .RB and .RBW to the variable value list and click OK.
After installation, make sure everything is working properly by entering the following command at the command line:
$ ruby -v ruby 2.2.3
If everything is working fine, the version of the installed Ruby interpreter will be output, as shown above. If you have a different version installed, a different version will be displayed.
