What problems are you experiencing?

ridk install fails due to an issue with pacman-key not finding CLI tools and scripts needed to generate local keys. This is with Ruby 3.2.2-1 (x64).

hi @synthead - did this get resolved for you? Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience, so I can't relate but I'm wondering if this was resolved by reinstallation or something. That said, in my case, it was installed during the installation directly as I documented here: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/ruby3.2-windows-day0-install-hello_world/
