Long story short
The following are steps we take at Hashrocket when setting up a near perfect Ruby development environment in GNU/Linux (Debian/Ubuntu). Feel free to copy and paste the commands into your terminal.
A Word of Caution
While it is unlikely any instruction given below might damage your system, it’s always a good idea to backup everything before doing any of it, just in case. I am not responsible for anything that may result from following the instructions below. Proceed at your own risk.
