The following are the steps that I performed to install ruby on my linux machine. This same text is also available on http://linux-certification.blogspot.com/2008/10/setting-up-ruby-on-li... I went to http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ There I found out a section with the heading Ruby Source Code I pick the url of the link for the file using the right click and choosing the 'copy link location' in my firefox. Then I went to the shell on my linux and put the following command shell> wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.gz This downloaded the ruby source code to my root directory. I extracted the file using the following command shell> tar -xvf ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.gz This command extracted the source archieve to ruby-1.8.7-p72 directory. Then I enter into this ruby-1.8.7-p72 directory and executed the following command shell> ./configure This is actually not a command rather a script, that is run to check the required configurations for the installation purposes. At the successful run of this script I executed the following command shell> make This make command compiled the code. At the end of the make command I executed the following command shell> make install This make install command installed the ruby and placed the ruby files in appropriate folders. Thats all to what I did for installing ruby on a linux machine. You can confirm your ruby installation by using the following command shell> ruby -v
