Talk:Ruby Programming/Installing Ruby

Rewrite the article
Two things to look into in the future: Evotopid (discuss • contribs) 15:29, 25 December 2016 (UTC)--
 * Provide instructions on installing Ruby with rbenv, since this way many people can avoid installing their gems system wide when this is not what they want. (And also it will allow them to try out other Ruby interpreters like jRuby a lot more easily.)
 * Check if the Windows section is still relevant (I don't have a Windows machine around so I cannot really do that).


 * I added a mention of rbenv at least (alongside RVM). Aside: I was surprised to find there's a wikipedia article for RVM but not rbenv. So that needs fixing too. Noted here.
 * In any case I think installing via a version manager should be the recommendation, and maybe that would let us blow away some of the details about using system-wide ruby or packaged rubies, because I'd say that's mostly not the recommendation (I mean it's OK for getting started quickly with ruby, but I don't think it's what most developers do for the reasons you mention).

 * I added rubyinstaller for ease of installation. We wanted to make it easier for installation for Windows. MrAlanKoh (discuss • contribs) 07:16, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
