Running guard and growl on windows

Question

How can I run guard on windows.

I have tried to install bundler like it says on the git but don't know what to do now

also how can I install growl notify?

Answer 1

I had some trouble with this as well, I ended up finding a gem called ruby_gntp.
Add

gem 'ruby_gntp'

to your Gemfile and then add

notification :gntp

to your Guardfile. This should get growl working for you and show your Guard notifications. Although, my next issue to figure out is how to make it run a little faster. Please let me know if you have tips on that topic! :)

Answer 2

Assuming you don't have Ruby setup on your PC

1. Go to RubyForge and download the latest version of the Ruby one-click Installer for Windows. http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167&release_id=5246
2. Download and install RubyGems. http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3
3. From command prompt, type: gem install bundler

To install guard you can then either add to a gem file

group :development do 
  gem 'guard'
end

then run bundle

or you can just run globally by typing: gem install guard

As for Growl, I'm not sure, maybe check out: http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/default.aspx
