title: Installing Ruby on Rails on Windows via CYGWIN
body: <p>I am attempting to follow instructions on this page:</p>

  <p>I have been trying to install Rails with varying success first using the railsinstaller and I encounter difficulties like no vim and I couldn't copy and paste from the Windows command prompt so I install CYGWIN. It didn't download the files correctly so I downloaded them manually and some were hard to locate. I couldn't find the final package as a .tar file so I downloaded libxslt-devel-1.1.20-1.i386.rpm.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <h2>Right click the Cygwin shortcut and choose edit from the menu. Change the contents to >match:</h2>
    
    <p>1 @echo off
    2  C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt -sr -sl 1500 -e C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -i</p>

  <p>Do I have to put this as a command to run on the executable or inside the cygwin commmand prompt? When I try to do that I get this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <h2>-bash: 'command': command not found</h2>
