By installing Development Kit and MySql Connector:
To install Development Kit:
1. Left double-click the self-extracting executable (SFX) to install the DevKit artifacts into. For example, C:DevKit.
2. cd <DEVKIT_INSTALL_DIR>
3. ruby dk.rb init to generate the config.yml. Your installed Rubies will be listed there (only those installed by a RubyInstaller package are detected at present).
4. edit the generated config.yml file to include installed Rubies not automagically discovered or remove Rubies you do not want to use the DevKit with.
5. [optional] ruby dk.rb review to review the list of Rubies to be enhanced to use the DevKit and verify the changes you made to it are correct.
6 .Finally, ruby dk.rb install to DevKit enhance your installed Rubies. This step installs (or updates) an operating_system.rb file into the relevant directory needed to implement a RubyGems pre_install hook and a devkit.rb helper library file into <RUBY_INSTALL_DIR>librubysite_ruby
