Installing Ruby on Rails; And suggestions for installing a ruby Dev environment section.

I'm a noob so these are just my humble noobish opinions;

I don't know about everyone else, but I had a lot of issues when trying to install a Ruby Development Environment on my laptop (Windows 10). Things from "Nokogiri requires Ruby version < 2.3.0; some other error <= 1.3.9"; to multiple other things I can't even remember.

If you have issues installing it like I did, check out http://railsinstaller.org/en . It lets you install almost everything the video tutorial teaches you to install. -Ruby -Bundler -GIT -Rails -SQlite -Devkit but in one package.

Note: You still need to type "gem install rails", and all the other gems Jason installs in his tutorial, in the cmd console, I think.

Also, in the teachers notes of the "Installing A Ruby Dev environment" section, it has links to newer versions of the videos. If they're newer, and if they're newer I assume they're better, why not just replace the current videos with the new ones? And throw the link to "railsinstaller.org" in the teachers notes.
