Installing Rails on Ubuntu 15.10

Question

I'm trying to install Rails on my laptop running Ubuntu 15.10 by using a book called "Beginning Rails 4, 3rd Edition" by Apress. It uses the rvm method and I just wanted to know if anyone knew of an easier way to install Rails.

Answer 1

If you don't care about the ability of managing multiple ruby versions and gemsets, you can just install ruby using apt

$ sudo apt-get install ruby

Then install rails

$ gem install rails
