ruby and ruby railsdownload

I have learned a bit of Ruby and would like to experiment with it but I don't know how to download it onto my linux mint or linux debian os. Can anyone point me into the right direction on how to go about downloading this and setting it up?

Here is a page that goes through a couple ways to install ruby. https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/ This will install the latest version of ruby onto your machine.

You could also use a system like RVM (Ruby Version Manager) Its a bit more complicated but allows you to install whatever version of Ruby you want. https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/ruby/ownserver/nginx/oss/install_language_runtime.html#install-rvm
