Hi,

Do I really have to install ruby? I downloaded it, but can't find anything like install, setup or something like this. Even the readme is not very helpful at all. And another question: for using Ruby - and therefore ConTeXt - do I need cygwin?

no, try to avoid cygwin just download ruby (mswin version), unzip/install it in say c:\ruby and then add c:\ruby\bin to your windows path ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

There are two alternatives for installing ruby. Take this one: http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?RubyInstaller

No. It does more harm than good. Mojca
