Hey, everyone. Today we will be setting up “ruby on rails” in one of the latest versions of ubuntu i.e. 16.04. We will go for rvm (Ruby Version Manager) which will let you manage work and switch between multiple ruby environments.

​We have covered all the steps to install ruby on rails. (ROR) Still, I have seen many persons encountering numerous errors in installing it. This could be a reason that the dependencies are not satisfiable. You got broken packages, source not listed and many more. I had encountered no error in installing ruby on rails from beginning to end but all cases differ. Still I will say it is not that hard to install it.I have also skipped steps that I considered are not necessary for just setting up ruby on rails, so if you got any doubt that why a particular step is not here, don’t hesitate to comment below.
