How can I properly install bootsnap on windows
Installing bootsnap
on Windows requires a few additional steps compared to other operating systems. Here's how you can properly install bootsnap
on Windows:
Install the required dependencies:
- Install the Ruby development kit (DevKit): Visit the RubyInstaller website (https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads) and download the DevKit corresponding to your Ruby version. Follow the installation instructions provided to install and configure the DevKit.
Open a command prompt and navigate to your project directory.
Install the
bootsnap
gem by running the following command:shellgem install bootsnap --platform=ruby
After the installation, generate the
bootsnap
cache by running the following command within your project directory:shellbundle exec bootsnap --install --path . --development
This command will generate the cache for your project using
bootsnap
.Make sure to include
bootsnap
in your Gemfile and runbundle install
to ensure it's properly included in your project's dependencies.
Please note that bootsnap
is primarily designed for Linux and macOS systems, and it may not provide the same level of performance improvement on Windows due to differences in file system behavior and caching mechanisms.
It's recommended to check the bootsnap
documentation and the GitHub repository for the latest updates and specific instructions related to Windows installation.
