Installing puma on windows

(Eine deutsche Version dieses Tutorials gibt es auf unserem Blog: Puma für Ruby unter Windows installieren)

Requirements

• Ruby for Windows
• DevKit compatible with your ruby version
• OpenSSL Developer Package (contains header files and binaries)

I have tested this with the following versions:

• Ruby 2.0.0p247
• DevKit 4.7.2-20130224
• the above stated OpenSSL package

Install the puma gem

Steps:

1. install DevKit, e.g. in c:\devkit
2. unpack the OpenSSL Package, e.g. in c:\openssl (use 7Zip or PeaZip)
3. You need to copy the ddls from the bin directory (libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll) to your ruby/bin directory.
4. open a windows console
5. initialize the DevKit build environment
   c:\devkit\devkitvars.bat
6. Now it’s possible to install the puma gem with the OpenSSL packages
   gem install puma -- --with-opt-dir=c:\openssl

Test run

If the installation was successful, puma should be installed correctly.
Try the puma version command in your console to verify this.
puma -v
