Firewatir: Error when installing Firewatir on Windows

I am trying to install Firewatir on my PC (its OS is Windows). I have installed the jssh and test it. It is properly installed.

After that, I tried to install the firewatir gem. So I ran this command:

gem install firewatir

Then, I got this error:

ERROR: While executing gem ... (RunTimeError)

    Error installing firewatir:

         firewatir requires commonwatir = 1.6.5

Does that mean I have to install commonwatir first? When I tried to install commonwatir, I got similar error. But this time, the commonwatir required user-choices. And now, it becomes a long dependence chain of installation.

A: 

Watir installation page says all you need to do is

gem install watir

Firewatir is part of Watir.

It is because of the firewall and there is a thread in stackoverflow that discussed about this.Btw, thank you for your answer :).

That is correct. The problem is that there are a whole chain of gems that you need to install.
