# Getting Started

## Installing Ruby

Usually ruby installed with operating system is quite old (and slow), so we

will install newer version. The process is not trivial so we will use

existing tools - ruby-install (will checkout and compile ruby for us) and

chruby (will allow us to switch between different versions of ruby).

  wget -O ruby-install-0.4.0.tar.gz https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install/archive/v0.4.0.tar.gz

  tar -xzvf ruby-install-0.4.0.tar.gz

  cd ruby-install-0.4.0/

  sudo make install

  wget -O chruby-0.3.8.tar.gz https://github.com/postmodern/chruby/archive/v0.3.8.tar.gz

  tar -xzvf chruby-0.3.8.tar.gz

  cd chruby-0.3.8/

  sudo make install

  echo "source /usr/local/share/chruby/chruby.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

  echo "source /usr/local/share/chruby/auto.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

  ruby-install ruby 2.1.1
