Ruby Installation - Unix
Here are the steps to be followed to install Ruby on a Unix machine −
NOTE − Before proceeding, make sure you have root privilege.
Download a zipped file having latest version of Ruby. Follow Download Link.
After having downloaded the Ruby archive, unpack it and change into the newly created directory −
$ tar -xvzf ruby-1.6.7.tgz $ cd ruby-1.6.7
- Now, configure and compile the source code as follows −
$ ./configure $ make
- Finally, install Ruby interpreter as follows −
$ su -l root # become a root user $ make install $ exit # become the original user again
After installation, make sure everything is working fine by issuing the following command on the command-line −
$ruby -v ruby 1.6.7 (2002-06-04) [i386-netbsd]
If everything is fine, this should output the version of the installed Ruby interpreter as shown above. You may have installed different version, so it will display a different version.
