It is important to note that this is installation is very tricky. If the instructions are not followed carefully, you will receive error message because of the OpenSSL. There are some discussions on the OpenStudio forum.

1. Install the ruby installer: Although the OpenStudio page recommended the 1.8.6 ruby installer, rubyinstaller-1.8.7-p370 works better. OpenStudio Recommendation: Install the ruby (1.8.6) from the following link: Ruby: MSVC Ruby 1.8.6 - This MSVC build of Ruby is required to build OpenStudio. To install, unzip to C:\Ruby or other desired location. During the installation, make sure to check the “add ruby executables to your path” and “associate .rb and .rbw files with this ruby installation” (Note: This will add the ruby folder to the path)
