Go here:

  http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/

and follow the download link. Download the latest version of the installer
(182-14). Once you have installed ruby from you should find a number of use
tools in you start menu under "Ruby", and you should be able to run "irb"
from the command line to get into an interactive ruby session.
