You can use gems. That is what I did.  You'll need to install a DBMS
and if you want to use something other than webrick, you'll need that
too.

Or you can make use of the seemingly very handy Instant Rails project:
http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl

This has everything you need to get started in one package.

which you can keep seperate from your one click installer stuff

I have not tried it yet, but it seems like this might be an easy way to go.
