2. Download rubygems here, move to C:\cygwin\home\[USER], run your Cygwin, and extract it using “tar zxf rubygems-xxx.tgz”.
3. From the Cygwin shell, run “ruby rubygems-xxx/setup.rb”.
4. Once rubygems is installed the gem command can be used to install the Express client tools. This will also install the dependent gems. Run: "gem install rhc".
