title: Pretty lost with Ruby Gems and dugway installation
body: <p>I want to use a Ruby Gem called <a href="https://github.com/bigcartel/dugway" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Dugway</a> by Big Cartel to create themes in a local environment rather than on their actual platform for development purposes.</p>
  
  <p>I've never used Ruby or Gems before, but to my understanding I needed to first install Ruby and a DevKit. I downloaded and installed <code>Ruby 2.0.0-p247 (x64)</code> and <code>DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx.exe</code>, then extracted the DevKit into the Ruby folder.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the instructions <a href="https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, but just to keep it all in one place I'll write exactly what I did anyway...</p>
  
  <p>I opened Start Command Prompt With Ruby and typed <code>cd C:\Ruby200-x64\devkit</code> and then <code>ruby dk.rb init</code> and got this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Initialization complete! Please review and modify the auto-generated
      'config.yml' file to ensure it contains the root directories to all
      of the installed Rubies you want enhanced by the DevKit.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I had a look at the file and below the comment it has <code>- C:/Ruby200-x64</code> which I assume means since I haven't used anything before, there's nothing for me to modify anyway.</p>
  
  <p>Now to install, I typed <code>ruby dk.rb install</code> and I was shown:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    [INFO] Updating convenience notice gem override for 'C:/Ruby200-x64'
      [INFO] Installing 'C:/Ruby200-x64/lib/ruby/site_ruby/devkit.rb'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It then told me to do a test install so I typed <code>gem install json --platform=ruby</code> which gave me the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Fetching: json-1.8.0.gem (100%)
      Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit..
      Building native extensions. This could take a while...
      Successfully installed json-1.8.0

      Unable to convert "\x90" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for lib/json/ext/generator.so, skipping

      Installing ri documentation for json-1.8.0
      1 gem installed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I did a quick search on here about the unable to convert warnings, and found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8100891/the-json-native-gem-requires-installed-build-tools">this</a> which made me feel better since it's not an error, which meant I carried on and typed <code>ruby -rubygems -e "require 'json'; puts JSON.load('[42]').inspect"</code> and it displayed <code>[42]</code> which I assumed meant it worked correctly!</p>
  
  <p>So now on with Big Cartels Dugway gem, I type <code>gem install dugway</code> which gave me the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::DependencyError)
      Unable to resolve dependencies: dugway requires i18n (= 0.6.1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Quick search showed me i18n is a gem itself, so... assumptions of what I'd just learnt on how to install gems made me think <code>gem install i18n</code> should be written into the command prompt, this installed no warnings or errors thankfully. So I tried to install dugway again <code>gem install dugway</code> and I got exactly the same error as before, that dugway requires i18n.</p>
  
  <p>I'm pretty confused now, to say an hour ago I didn't have a clue what any of this meant, I thought I had done well up until now, but I'm stuck on what to do next.</p>
  
  <p>How do I get around that last error, to me it's installed so what am I doing wrong? Sorry if it's obvious, but like I said, this is all pretty new to me, I'm used to just writing PHP and running databases so I'm still adjusting!</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>To note, I've also tried adding <code>--platform-ruby</code> at the end of <code>gem install dugway</code> just in case that was a problem, but still got the same error.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>After following Simon Repp's advice of forcing the specific i18n version to install:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27) [x64-mingw32]
  
  C:\Users\Me&gt;cd C:\Ruby200-x64\devkit
  
  C:\Ruby200-x64\devkit&gt;gem list i18n
  
  *** LOCAL GEMS ***
  
  i18n (0.6.4)

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then tried installing dugway again, everything was going well until the end:</p>
