This tutorial will guide you through setting up a basic Ruby on Rails environment, installing:
- Ruby 1.8.7
- RubyGems 1.8.15

This tutorial was written for CentOS, Fedora, and other EL-based systems.
To start, log in to your VPS via SSH and update your system:
# yum update
Install Ruby:
# yum install ruby ruby-devel ruby-irb ruby-rdoc ruby-ri
Check the version installed:
# ruby -v
Install RubyGems:
# mkdir ~/sources# cd ~/sources# wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/45905/rubygems-1.3.1.tgz# tar xzvf rubygems-1.3.1.tgz# cd rubygems-1.3.1# ruby setup.rb
Update RubyGems:
# gem update –system
Install Rails:
# gem install rails
