How to install Ruby on Rails on CentOS 8?

In this post, I’ll show you how to install Ruby on Rails on CentOS 8.

Ruby on Rails makes Ruby more popular

The truth is that Ruby is still widely used today, but when compared to Python, PHP or Java is far behind. So it is no wonder it is not so easy to learn.

However, thanks to the efficiency of Ruby on Rails, many people have turned their eyes back to this language. Ruby on Rails is a fairly robust framework for creating web applications.

Some of the highlights of Ruby on Rails are as follows:

  • It uses many configuration conventions. This makes the framework, once installed, ready to work.
  • In Rails, there are several ways to do a certain thing. That is, it makes collaboration easier and the code easier to understand.
  • With Ruby on Rails, you’ll have a framework that uses the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle. With this, duplicity is eliminated and it makes it very agile.
  • Open Source, so licensing should not be a problem for you.
