Hi,
I haven't installed RubyGems by this method, but you will need to
extract the .zip file to a place on your harddrive. Then you will need
to open the terminal and navigate to that place. Useful tools for
finding something in terminal:
"pwd" tells you where you are
"cd <directory>" changes directory
"ls" lists contents of the current directory.
So navigate to where you extracted the archive. You should be able to
see "setup.rb" by typing "ls setup.rb". Then, run "ruby setup.rb".
Let us know how that goes, though if something complex goes wrong, I
fear /I/ won't be able to help, as I don't use a mac. Certainly somebody
will be able to help you, though.
