Your Computer (Windows)

Download the latest release of RubyStack from BitNami — the minimum version is 1.4.1.

Run the RubyStack installer and accept all the defaults, except the following:

• Developer Version
• Deselect PhpMyAdmin
• DB root password: (something memorable)
• Database:
  • Name: blueprint
  • User: blueprint
  • Password: (something memorable)

During the installation, you may encounter an Error creating database.yml. Ignore it.

You should stop the running demo rails app set up by Bitnami — according to their documentation:

You can start and stop BitNami RubyStack on Windows using the shortcuts created in the Start Menu, under Programs -> BitNami -> BitNami Service on Windows.

Now run Start->Programs->BitNami->Use RubyStack. Enter the following commands:

gem install win32console
gem install BlueCloth

Now, in the same command prompt, run:

svn co http://svn.dockyardapp.com/core/trunk blueprint && cd blueprint

You'll probably asked for a password. Hit Enter, then give the username and password provided by Inventive Labs for accessing the Blueprint repository.

At this point you can configure Blueprint.
