Hi.
In the download section of ruby-lang.org , there’s a how-to about
installation of Ruby.
The document says:
For example, on Debian or Ubuntu apt-get provides an easy and elegant
solution:
% apt-get install ruby1.8 irb1.8 rdoc1.8
However, afaik, the recommendation way of installing ruby is using
virtual package
named ‘ruby’ especially in Ubuntu. Thus, I believe that the above code
snippet should
be corrected like:
% apt-get install ruby irb rdoc
What do you guys think about this?
Sincerely,
Minkoo S.

I’m happy to make this change if it is needed, but I know nothing
about this. Can someone please confirm this approach?

I can confirm on Ubuntu.
The command should probably read:
$ sudo apt-get install ruby irb rdoc
For irb and rdoc you will need to enable the universe repository.

Good enough for me, I made the change.
Thank you both.
