Welcome!
Unfortunately in order to develop in Rails you will need to install it
locally on your machine. There are a couple of options here. You can install
all of the necessary files native to your machine, install a packaged
development environment such as Ruby Stack from bitnami, or by using a virtual
machine that contains everything you need. The best VM is Virtual Rails.
Heroku is awesome! It's incredibly easy to deploy your application to, and easy
to work with. It handles both development and production applications very
well. The basic (free) level can handle quite a bit, and you can scale heroku
as your application grows. You don't need to deploy to Heroku right away, there
are several web servers that you can develop with locally. Webrick is a
built-in web server that comes with Rails. You can also look into using Mongrel
or Unicorn.
You should also look into working with Git as your source control.
