Want to install Jruby but intimidated by RVM

Want to install Jruby and I am pretty sure that I want to manage it with RVM. My problem is that I am a little intimidated by RVM with its command line and all the dependencies (bash, git, etc.) I am on Windows 7, ruby 1.9.3. Can someone please help a newbie out and explain this in English.
Thanks

RVM is not supported on windows. 

"If you would like to manage multiple versions of ruby on windows please use pik which is an excellent tool by Gordon Thiesfeld. You can find it on GitHub."

Options to manage ruby version over windows:

  1. pik is a tool to manage multiple versions of ruby on Windows. It can be used from the Windows command line (cmd.exe), Windows PowerShell, or Git Bash. Github-pik

  2. You can also use Cygwin and then install the various packages required. Checkout

I would recommend using linux/mac OS when working with open source.

If you want to install ruby on Windows I suggest you to use PIK. It's sponsored by RubyInstaller.

And, about install Jruby on Windows ... all that you have to do is go to JRuby website and download the .exe file.
