Just type the code in notepad and save it as someFile.rb.

Just double click on the file Icon after you are done with saving. This should start the ruby interpreter and then hand over the program as input to the interpreter program.

You have a few options here:

- You can run it from the command line. Go to Start->Run and type "cmd" and press Enter. Then, cd to the directory containing the file and run it with options.

- You can right click on the program and select Properties... - I believe there is a field that should let you specify options to use when running it.
