Ruby Getting Started

Simple Note

Go to http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ and
choose latest stable version (1.9.3 for now)
or
check the recommanded version in download page of RoR.
http://rubyonrails.org/download/
I prefer the stable one.

Download it

SQLite Getting Started

Simple Note


Go to http://www.sqlite.org/

Go to download page

Download Precompiled Binaries for Windows
(sqlite-shell and sqlite-dll here)

Unzip them into a folder (e.g. C:\programs\sqlite)

Add the folder above into Path (the Environment variable)
or you will need to cd to that folder each time.

Open cmd

Type "sqlite3 test.db"
test.db created

now you can use SQL to access test.db

you can also execute "sqlite3" then choose database with attach command,
e.g. attach "test.db" as test
