[Tut] How to install Ruby on Mac, Windows and Linux - Jordan L. - 01-13-2010
Hey.
If you're new to Ruby there is a few things you're going to need to actually start learning + practising Ruby. Apart from Ruby itself; there is such things and irb, etc. etc.
Installing Ruby on Windows
Installing Ruby on Windows is really easy. Because of the WIndows nature, they have a one-click Ruby Installer. Just follow the link below to Rubyforge and download and run the One-click Ruby intsaller.
Ruby One-Click installer for Windows.
Installing Ruby on Mac
Now, it's hard for me to really say how to install Ruby on Mac, as I don't use it. But I beleive Mac has Ruby Preinstalled, Ruby CoCoa or something. But I've also heard in other places that it's often Out-dated, and needs to be updated. You can just go to Rubyforge, and search for Mac Ruby, and it'll tell you what to do.
Installing Ruby on Linux
It's so easy to install everything you will need to learn Ruby on Linux. Depending on your package manager, all you'll need to do is write install the main Ruby Packages. Here is an example of how to install Ruby on Ubuntu or Mint Linux (Anything that uses apt-get):
Code:
sudo apt-get install ruby irb rdocThanks for reading and I hope this helps you out with learning Ruby.

Yeah, it's double click, but it's called the One Click installer, but haha, same same.
MoTU, I think you should get back into Ruby, it's a great language and easy to pick up. We could also help eachother out.. I'm only just learning too!

I will, but you know the situation and atm I'm not be able to learnin it...
I see Ruby is easy as Python is, so Ruby is next on my list!

I've never tried Ruby, although I've noticed alot of people seem to be learning. I thought why not be different? I'll go the more unique language. And so far I've enjoyed every moment of it. It's great language.
