add rbenv install instructions

advise using a Linux VM on Windows?

While RailsInstaller hopefully mitigates a lot of the early pain of installation, it's inevitable that people will run into problems of gems that aren't Windows-compatible. It's just a sub-par experience for working in Rails. Thoughts about advising them to set up Ubuntu in Virtualbox instead?

Rails installation fails "extconf failed, exit code 1"

Hello,

In the install_rails step (http://installrails.com/steps/install_rails), I had to run
$ xcode-select --install
to make the
$ gem install rails
command works.

Had inspiration here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25584355/installing-compass-via-the-command-line-receive-error-extconf-failed-exit-co

Unfortunately the log was overwritten but the main lines are the same as in the Stack Overflow topic.

Mac OSX 10.10

The App Store no longer allows you to download XCode if your version of OS is less than 10.11. You can download them without the App store by signing in here : https://developer.apple.com/downloads/ and searching for Command Line Tools or Xcode
