How to install a ruby gem on windows 7

Sorry to ask such a basic question. I'm trying to install tiny_tds as explain on this page. I've tried $ gem install tiny_tds, I'm getting error: Syntaxt error, unexpected $undefined. If I remove $, the error becomes undefined local variable or methos "tiny_tds". I don't know where to start to install a gem. I'm using the ruby command prompt.

Thanks for helping

You need to download the Ruby installer depending on you systems settings (32 or 64 bit) and the ruby development kit in order to run command lines. Here is a link to the installer and a simple guide for installing the DevKit for ruby on windows (this one is to make jekyll run on windows, jekyll is other ruby gem):

Ruby Installer: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

Devkit configuration: http://www.madhur.co.in/blog/2011/09/01/runningjekyllwindows.html

I guess you should try railsinstaller for windows that includes rubygems. Then gem install tiny_tds in the command prompt.
