This article introduces the knowledge of "detailed steps to install Ruby on Ubuntu". Many people will encounter this dilemma in the operation of actual cases, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

It was interesting to see my colleagues using Ubuntu the other day, so I prepared to learn about it and decided to learn Ruby development under Ubuntu, as well as ROR development in the future. Of course, the first task is to install the running environment of Ruby.

Open Terminal and type: ruby-v, prompting that the command is not available, so you need to install the running environment for Ruby.

Run: sudo apt-get install ruby, prompt for the password, but after entering the password, the prompt does not have the authority, do not know how to return the matter. Of course, just run it: sudo passwd root, set the password for the root account. Then, run the installation command sudo apt-get install ruby again, enter the password (the password for the current account), and start downloading and installing.

When the installation is complete, run: ruby-v, indicating that the currently installed version is 1.8. However, I see from the website that the latest version is 1.9, but I don't know if it is also available here. So use: sudo apt-cache search ruby, found ruby1.9 in the list that appears, after trying: sudo apt-get update ruby upgrade does not work, and because 1.8 is a stable version, it will not be replaced.

The book mentions that irb is a good ruby interactive environment, and that you constantly consult the documentation during development, so you use:

Sudo apt-get install irb

Sudo apt-get install ri

The irb environment and ri documentation lookup tools are installed.

At this point, the simple Ruby development environment is configured.

This is the end of the detailed steps for installing Ruby on Ubuntu. Thank you for reading. If you want to know more about the industry, you can follow the website, the editor will output more high-quality practical articles for you!
