Getting Ruby

Windows Users

There is a one-click installer for Windows.

You may have to reboot for the changes to take effect.

Mac OS X, Linux and other Unix Users

Linux users may be able to install Ruby through their favorite package managements systems (apt-get/synaptic, yum, urpmi, portage, fink, etc.).

If you have a C compiler (like GCC), though, the best way to install Ruby is to download the source code and compile it. The procedure for doing so is quite easy. In a terminal window:

code:

$ ./configure $ make $ make install

Note that for the last part, you will have to be a superuser.

You're now read to dive into Ruby. Congratulations.

Ruby is available on MacPorts, port install ruby.

Also, Ruby either comes with OS X or is part of the developer package.
