Installing Ruby in Linux and Windows environments

First, install Ruby under Linux

1-First, we want to get the latest Ruby release version (currently ruby-1.8.2.tar.gz).

Please download it to www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020102.html.

2-then decompression: TAR-ZXF ruby-1.8.2.tar.gz

3-Last Run:

./configure

Make

Make install

This is the basic Linux under the Software installation method:

4-ok, knock now: ruby-v

Is there a ruby version number, congratulations, you have successfully installed the ruby!

There are two ways to install Ruby in a Windows environment

1-Completely compile the installation from the source code

Is that we download the latest source code for the Ruby language, compile and install Ruby with VC or other C compiler.

But in fact, no trouble, already have netizens for us to compile, direct to http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/download.

It's best to set the $path path (like setting the JDK path) when you get back.

2-The simplest method (recommended!) ）

Download One-click-installer directly from Http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller, double-click to install, everything is done!

The software contains Ruby ontology, useful extensions (such as gems), a lot of documentation, and SciTE and freeride. Two very good Ides (and you can choose to install them).
