Download the zip file and unzip it into a temporary directory. Use the chdir command to make the temporary directory your current directory. Run the ImageMagick-6.3.0-7-Q8-windows-dll.exe command to install ImageMagick. Then run gem install rmagick --local That's it. All this information is in the README.html file that is included in the .zip file.
