How to install Gem

[Eneroth3]

I'm having problem installing the Gem. The README states you install using gem install skippy but I'm getting the following error message:

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'skippy' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR:  Possible alternatives: snippy, flippy, kippt, sappy, shippo

Am I missing something?

Ah, right - I see. When you install it for the first time you need an additional flag because it's currently only available in a pre-release version. So I think you need to do the following:

gem install skippy --pre

I should update the README with that until a proper production version is ready.

Thanks! Got it to work now.

I also had to install Git for Windows and att its path to the Windows environment variable PATH. Perhaps this process could be described or automated?

I can add a note in the README. But I don't want to meddle with people systems by installing git for them.

By the way, once you have a dev version installed I think you can omit --pre whenever you do gem update skippy. (I think....)
