[Rails-users] How do I install Rails?

[Dave B. <da...@be...>]

Hello,

I have downloaded Rails (onto my Windows XP PC) and unzipped it.  I 
can't find any instructions on how to install or run it.  I've looked 
in the README, on the web site and in the archives of this mailing 
list.  I tried running the rails.bat file (without any arguments) and 
I get an NoClassDefFoundError exception, looking for org/apache/log4j/Logger.

Do I need to add a folder to my %PATH% variable or something?  In 
case it matters, here is the output of "java -version":

C:\rails-1.3>java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

I have not set this machine as a development PC (yet), so I don't 
have Eclipse installed or anything like that.  Currently I'm just 
trying to run Rails to see what it's like.

Best wishes,

Dave.
