Lesson 1 / 68
Getting Started
To actually run Ruby you will need the following.
- Ruby itself: install it from the official site (ruby-lang.org). rbenv and RVM are popular for managing versions.
- An editor: Visual Studio Code is a good choice.
Once installed, type ruby yourfile.rb in a terminal to run it.
