How to update Rake on Windows
Ruby 1.8.6 ships with Rake 0.7.3 which I recently needed to upgrade to the latest version 0.8.4. This post describes the simple process to accomplish the upgrade using the Ruby gem system on Windows.
Open a cmd.exe window and type the following:
gem install --remote rake
You’ll see some information progress messages and in no time, Rake will be upgraded to the latest version. You can confirm the upgrade by typing the following:
rake --version
