How to Setup and Configure Ruby on Rails with ‘RVM’ on Ubuntu 16.04
In this article, we will learn how to setup and configure Ruby on Rails, which is the most popular stack application used by the developers which is generally used to create sites and web applications. The Ruby is a programming language where the programer’s use with the combination of Rails development frameworks to make the application development fast and simple.
‘RVM’ (Ruby Version Manager) is the command-line tools used to install the Ruby and Rails which also provides a good environment for application development using Ruby on Rails can also provide multiple Ruby environments.
Prerequisites
We needed an Ubuntu 16.04 installed machine with a non-root user.
Installing the ‘RVM’
The easiest way to install the Ruby on Rails with RVM is to run the following command as a non-root user and will be prompted for regular password.
We will use the ‘gpg’ command to contact a public key server and request for the associated key for the given ID.
$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 Output: gpg: directory `/home/ubuntu/.gnupg' created gpg: new configuration file `/home/ubuntu/.gnupg/gpg.conf' created gpg: WARNING: options in `/home/ubuntu/.gnupg/gpg.conf' are not yet active durin g this run gpg: keyring `/home/ubuntu/.gnupg/secring.gpg' created gpg: keyring `/home/ubuntu/.gnupg/pubring.gpg' created gpg: requesting key D39DC0E3 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net gpg: /home/ubuntu/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created gpg: key D39DC0E3: public key "Michal Papis (RVM signing) <mpapis@gmail.com>" imported gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
Now we will download the RVM script in the /tmp folder
$ cd /tmp
Below is the command to download the script for installing the RVM.
$ \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io -o rvm.sh
Once downloaded the script we will run the below command to install which will install the stable Rails version and also install the latest stable release of Ruby.
$ cat rvm.sh | bash -s stable --rails Output: Downloading https://github.com/rvm/rvm/archive/1.27.0.tar.gz Downloading https://github.com/rvm/rvm/releases/download/1.27.0/1.27.0.tar.gz.asc gpg: Signature made Tuesday 29 March 2016 07:19:47 PM IST using RSA key ID BF04FF17 gpg: Good signature from "Michal Papis (RVM signing) <mpapis@gmail.com>" gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.

Once the installation is completed, we need to run the below command to add the environments variable and paths
$ source /home/ubuntu/.rvm/scripts/rvm
Now we will check the installation, below is the command to check the installation.
$ rvm Output: = rvm * https://rvm.io/ * http s://github.com/rvm/rvm/ == DESCRIPTION: RVM is the Ruby enVironment Manager (rvm).

Installing the Specific Versions of Ruby and Rails
If we want to install a specific version of Ruby to meet your requirements, we have to use the bellow commands.
To list the available versions
$ rvm list known
To install the particular version
$ rvm install version_no
To list the installed versions
$ rvm list
To switch to the particular installed versions
$ rvm use ruby_version
As Rails is a gem, we can also install the particular versions to meet our environment, gem is the command to install we can use the below commands to perform the installation.
To list the valid versions of the Rails
$ gem search ‘rails$’ –all
To install the particular version
$ gem install rails –v version_no
To create gemset
$ rvm gemset create new_gemset_name
To specify the Ruby version with the new gemset.
$ rvm ruby_version@new_gemset_name
Installing the Java Runtime
As some of the Rails features depend on the JavaScript Runtime environment, we needed to install the Node.js.
Below is the command to install the Node.js
$ cd /tmp $ \curl -sSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x -o nodejs.sh $ less nodejs.sh $ cat /tmp/nodejs.sh | sudo -E bash – Output: ## Installing the NodeSource Node.js v6.x repo... ## Populating apt-get cache... + apt-get update Hit:1 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Hit:2 http://deb.kamailio.org/kamailio jessie InRelease Hit:3 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease Hit:4 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease Hit:5 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease Reading package lists...

Now we can get the Node.js using the apt-get command
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs Output: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: nodejs 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 107 not upgraded. Need to get 10.1 MB of archives. After this operation, 50.7 MB of additional disk space will be used.

After this article, you will be able to setup and configure the RVM to install Ruby and Rails, with the JavaScript runtime with multiple Ruby environments.
