Hi, I have downloaded Ruby and I have purchased the book Teach Yourself
Ruby. I have W98 but I do not have Unix.

My question is how do you compile your scripts?

Thank you.

You don’t compile them; you just run them.
ruby

If you were on a WinNT variant, then things could be set up so that
you could run Ruby files directly from the command-line without a .rb
extension. (It’s possible to set up an explorer association, but
you’ll always have to put the .rb extension unless you’re on a WinNT
variant).

You can use exerb to create a .exe file from a Ruby script (which I
will be doing myself).
