Answer 1

I recommend using 32bit version of ruby on windows 10 as 64bit has problems with some gems.

First download 32bit ruby installer from http://rubyinstaller.org and install it.

Then download curl-7.27.0-devel-mingw32, extract it in C:/curl-7.27.0-devel-mingw32 copy both libcurl.dll and libidn-11.dll into the Ruby bin directory.

and install:

gem install curb --platform=ruby -- --with-curl-lib="C:/curl-7.27.0-devel-mingw32/bin" --with-curl-include="C:/curl-7.27.0-devel-mingw32/include"
