"""
Interactive execution with automatic history, tries to mimic Mathematica's
prompt system. This environment's main features are:
- Numbered prompts (In/Out) similar to Mathematica. Only actions that produce
output (NOT assingments, for example) affect the counter and cache.
- The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
_p: stores previous result which generated printable output.

Fenced code in bullet lists with GitHub-flavoured MarkDown??

Fenced code blocks inside ordered and unordered lists

  1. This is a numbered list.

  2. I'm going to include a fenced code block as part of this bullet:

Download a cacert.pem for RailsInstaller

Why?

There is a long standing issue in Ruby where the net/http library by default does not check the validity of an SSL certificate during a TLS handshake. Rather than deal with the underlying problem (a missing certificate authority, a self-signed certificate, etc.) one tends to see bad hacks everywhere. This can lead to problems down the road.

From what I can see the OpenSSL library that Rails Installer delivers has no certificate authorities defined. So, let's go fetch some from the curl website. And since this is for ruby, why don't we download and install the file with a ruby script?

Installation

The Ruby Way! (Fun)
