Unable to install shopify-cli on Windows

Question

I was trying to follow this link here to install shopify-cli on my Windows 10 system.

I installed Ruby via chocolatey:

choco install ruby

Then I downloaded zipped version of rubygems and ran the setup through command:

ruby setup.rb

Then I tried installing the shopify app CLI through this command:

gem install shopify-cli

I ended up getting error and the error asked me to install MSYS2 which I did.

I then once again tried to install shopify-cli but now hit the wall with this error:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> gem install shopify-cli

Answer 1

So the problem was that I was using Chocolatey to install Ruby and then seperately trying to install MSYS2. Instead with the help of this link, I simply navigated to the ruby devkit download site and downloaded from there. This ensured MSYS2 gets installed via package as well. Then I also uninstalled ruby gems and tried re-installing it again and that worked as well.

Finally the command to install the ruby-cli worked:

gem install shopify-cli

Answer 2

Install ruby-dev or ruby-devel for example first and then try again with

sudo apt-get install /Downloads/shopify-cli-2.6.3.deb 

This should work
