    Getting Ruby:

    On Windows, navigate to https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/

    In most Linux distributions, Ruby is installed by default. To

    verify, run the command "which ruby". If you see a path like

    usr/bin/ruby, it is installed. If not, navigate to the page above.

    On MAC OS-X, ruby is installed by default.

    Editors:

    Any text editor will work for Ruby coding. Several free

    editors with Ruby syntax highlighting are available online.

    In this course, I'll be using Aptana Studio, available at

    http://www.aptana.com/products/studio3/download.html for

    Windows and Mac. On Linux, EMACS or Vi/Vim is the editor of

    choice, but a web search for Linux Ruby Editor will reveal

    more possibilities.
