Thanks for this.

I used to use ruby a lot - mostly just because it's the nicest language for scripting things on unix. I can remember trying to get it set up a year or so ago and finding the process difficult (think I was using rvm).

probably good idea to point people here before they install ruby, since it'll compile for minutes then tell you it's missing a dependency, and you have to start the whole process over.
