RoR is going strong. It should be no great problem to install, though it can be confusing if you don't get it right. I recommend using a ruby manger, I use RVM though I believe others prefer rbenv. If you want to try with rvm then in a terminal first install curl sudo apt-get install curl then \curl -k -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails That should install all the necessary dependencies, rvm, ruby and rails. Note that when using rvm never use sudo for installing gems or running bundle or anything similar. Have a look at http://rvm.io for more information of using rvm.
