starting pry shell

Question

I have downloaded the zip package for windows of pry an alternative for irb shell from github. I have unzipped the package.

How do i start the pry shell ?

Answer 1

You don't need the zip package, Pry is just a regular gem. In a terminal -- or whatever Windows calls those nowadays -- do the following (assuming you don't need something like sudo for Ruby on Windows):

gem install pry pry-doc

Done. Now start it with pry.
