Installing Ruby for Windows 10 issues.

I have been trying to install Ruby for Windows 10for 3 days now and no matter what I do it never works. I have watched Jason's tutorial for Windows 10 but that didn't work.

When I do vagrant ssh it shows this ssh executable not found in any directories in the %PATH% variable. Is an SSH client installed? Try installing Cygwin, MinGW or Git, all of which contain an SSH client. Or use your favorite SSH client with the following authentication information shown below:

Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 2222 Username: treehouse Private key: C:/Users/ethan/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key

I'm sorry if this is a slightly irritating answer, but my advice is (if you're serious about becoming a developer) to switch to either an online IDE, such as Nitrous, or setup your PC as dual-boot Windows/Ubuntu or (temporarily) create a bootable Ubuntu memory-stick. You'll never look back.

I gave up on Ruby and went to Python.
