From RubyonRails.org:

We recommend Ruby 1.8.4 for use with Rails. Ruby 1.8.2 is fine too, but
version 1.8.3 is not.

Should probably stick with1.8.4 for now.

Install RubyGems http://docs.rubygems.org/ --> download and run " ruby
setup.rb "

Then run " gem install rails "

This will give you the latest build. " gem update rails " will update to the
latest build

This should get you set up.
