Sorry you're having trouble, Sarah.

This is really a question for Kaspar, but iirc the recommended way to
install this gem is to cd to the directory where you downloaded the gem and
then enter the command

gem install rmagick

You will also need to run a post-install step to configure RMagick to use
the fonts on your machine. As always, the README file will have correct and
complete instructions.

I'm sure Kaspar will correct me if I've misled you.
