]]> Hey, what’s up? In this post, we’ll talk a little bit about Ruby. This is an interpreted, reflexive and object-oriented programming language created by Japanese programmer Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto. On the other hand, Ruby is designed for the developer’s productivity and fun, following the principles of a good User Interface. In addition, it combines Python and Perl inspired syntax with Smalltalk-like object-oriented programming features. It is a general-purpose language, meaning that with Ruby you can develop all kinds of different applications. Also, it is an interpreted language, that is, it is not compiled. On the other hand, it is high-level, dynamic and flexible. Finally, it is a multiplatform, free and open source. All these features, making it very interesting to use. So, let’s see how to install Ruby on Windows 10.

Downloading RubyInstaller

As mentioned in the title, we’ll be using RubyInstaller to install Ruby on Windows 10. In the first place, go to the RubyInstaller page. In the download section, please choose the version corresponding to your computer’s architecture. At the time of writing this post, the most recent version is 2.6.5.-1.
