Rails not working in windows

I have installed ruby on rails on windows and have ruby installed as well. I know rubygems is working correctly because I installed jekyll with it and jekyll works fine. When I run the following code:

rails new myapp

I get the following output:

I encountered this issue in Windows 10. I even used cygwin and git bash but had similar errors ('make is not recognized... blah blah'). Basically my errors were that I did not extract all of the files in the folder. As soon as I fixed that, the problem was solved.

I'm running an Acer Aspire. First, I downloaded the correct version for my desktop (x64) from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/. Then I ran the installer and extracted them in a folder in my C: drive without any spaces on the folder name.

The ff. files and folders should be extracted to that folder: /bin, /etc, /include, /lib, /mingw, mysys.bat, dk.rb, etc. I checked that they're all there.

Then I ran the instructions according to https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit with 'init' and 'install' After that, I ran the rails command again with the new project and it went through successfully.

You need to install the DevKit build tools because JSON is a native extension. If you used RailsInstaller it should be there. If you used Ruby installer, get it from here. Just make sure to get the DevKit version that matches your Ruby version. You will have to add the DevKit to your PATH a script in the installation directory can do that, or you can do it yourself. More help can be found at: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

Also, I suggest the 32 bit edition of Ruby because the 64-bit version has issues with some Gems. It also might be safer to go with Ruby 2.1 or 2.0 at the moment for Gem issues as well.
