Download ruby language for linux

Linuxfan0001 · 03-03-2009, 11:13 PM

I wanted to install ruby language on redhat linux. I searched for the installable on net there are several links on net
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownl...load-1181.html
http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Soft...8040/Ruby.html etc
but none of the above links is working i.e. there is no installable tar file available on the links.

Please let me know where could i get the ruby package for linux.
Thanks

Have you tried using your package manager?

Whenever you ask a question you should tell us the distro, arch, and version. With RH make sure to tell us if it is a straight RH version(not supported since 2003) or a RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version). Assuming RHEL5.X: yum install ruby

Many ruby-related packages can be installed via yum:

* ruby
* ruby-devel
* rubygem-rails
* rubygem-mongrel
* ruby-irb
* ruby-libs
* ruby-rdoc
* ruby-ri
* rubygems
* ruby-sqlite3
* ruby-mysql
* ruby-postgres
* ruby-clearsilver
* ruby-racc
* subversion-ruby
* ruby-docs

Have look at http://legacy.not404.com/RailsOnFC6 for some not so recent, but still adequate information.
