 RubyGems installed the following executables:
    c:/Ruby19/bin/gem


D:\temp\ruby_sites\rubygems-1.8.10>
D:\temp\ruby_sites\rubygems-1.8.10>gem install mysql
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied - C:/Users/Джестон/.gem/specs/rubygems.org%80/quick/Marshal.4.8/mysql-2.8.1.gemspec

D:\temp\ruby_sites\rubygems-1.8.10>

    gem installs stuff for admin user on your machine, so you need to start the command prompt as admin. (type cmd and instead of hitting enter, press ctrll+shift+enter to start command prompt as admin)

    even if your account on windows (through which you logged in) is of type admin, it won’t be enough. this is analogous to mac, wherein you use a “sudo” before doing similar stuff. hope this helps!
