You might need to assign a key to the program to make it execute.
Right click the mouse on the .ahk file then left click 'edit script' then on the top line of the script type
x::
save it then click 'x'
you could also add
^x::exitapp
on the last line, if you then press ctrl plus x at the same time the program will close.
You do have to have the AHK software:

And a good editor, this is widely agreed as the best one:

Good luck - you can do anything if you know how.

just to add....(oh dear she's going to speak what's in her mind, lololos)....
Using the AHK ruler means that you don't have to conceal the fact that you are running AHK, and this is dastardly cunning ;-) you see anybody who is even slightly familiar with AHK knows it is verrrrrrrry versatile - you could probably convert your PC in to a coffee vending machine with it!!! You can trigger things based on time, you can even trigger things based upon the colour changes on your screen!!! (think about that one) - go look on their forums.
A number of them use the AHK ruler on here ........so now they don't have to conceal that little green icon....I'M USING THE AHK RULER LOOK BOYS, THE AHK RULER I'M USING IT, LOOOOOK!!!!!!
....and whatever else - peek-a-boooooo I see youuuuuuuuuu, lolololos!!!!
To a certain somebody......
I did wonder why I couldn't hear the mouse click go off on the bottom of your swing the other day when, on occasion you slightly missed the ding - and there is nothing to mask an audible mouse click - especially when you are watching with your volume set up very high and every other mouse click was very very audible indeed, yet rarely was it heard at the bottom of your swing. The only time I heard it go off on the bottom of your swing you missed an absolute pearler - about 4.5 foot putt on Congressional no. 17 - that's when I knew!!!!
and....
you can't kid the kid who got to Thailand sunshine ;-)
lololololos.
(anybody in the top bracket who is using an on-screen ruler THAT JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE AN AHK ONE should set red alarm bells ringing like a torpedoed submarine throughout the entire community - I mean if you weren't running anything other than a ruler, then you just wouldn't be so stupid to make it an AHK one with so many different varieties to choose from out there).
SLAMS BOOK SHUT!!!!
