You don’t install a Ruby script. You run it, much like a PHP script. You
need to have the interpreter (Ruby) and whatever dependencies your
script
has beforehand, then just run:

$ ruby some_script.rb

Hey!

For a quick start i recommend http://tryruby.org/ and
http://railsforzombies.com/ which is free, quick and you will get
some foundations on rails and ruby lang.

It’s possible install some scripts using rubygems library.

If it’s not what you are looking for, let us known your actual problem
you
are trying to solve.

If you are talking about a Ruby on Rails application then I suggest
[email protected].

What do you mean by a ruby script? Is it just a .rb file? In which
case make sure ruby is installed then run it by
ruby the_file.rb

If you are talking about a Ruby on Rails application then I suggest
you work through a Rails tutorial such as railstutorial.org (which is
free to use online) to find out what Rails is about.
