You have two versions: with Installer or extractable packages (7-Zip)

The Installer version offer to register as default executing option
for .rb files and also allow you add Ruby to the search path. This
option is not portable.

The 7-Zip package is portable, extract on any directory, add the bin
directory to the PATH (as explained before) and call scripts with
"ruby myscript.rb"

Is not Cygwin nor install it.
