Installing RhoConnect
===

## Windows

If you're running Windows, download the latest [RhoStudio for Windows](http://rhomobile.com/rhostudio-windows).  This installs the [Ruby stack](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/), [Redis](http://redis.io/), [RhoConnect](/rhoconnect/introduction) and [Rhodes](/rhodes/introduction).

You can now skip to the [generating a new application instructions](/rhoconnect/command-line#generate-an-application) in the next section.

## Mac OS / Linux

### Prerequisites

1. [Ruby v1.8.7+](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/)

2. [RubyGems v1.8.5+](http://rubygems.org/pages/download) 

3. Ruby Web Server - We test with [thin](http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/), and [passenger](http://www.modrails.com/).  WEBrick, the web server that ships with ruby, is known to cause issues with HTTP headers/cookies and is ***not*** recommended.

4. [Redis 2.2.14+](http://redis.io/) - RhoConnect includes a simple [rake task](/rhoconnect/command-line#rake-tasks) `redis:install` to install redis, covered in the [Rake Tasks section](/rhoconnect/command-line#rake-tasks). Alternatively, you can [install redis directly](http://redis.io/download).
