Ubuntu
Installing Ruby
The easiest way to install Ruby and RubyGems is via Ubuntu's built in package manager:
{% highlight bash %} $ sudo aptitude install ruby1.8-dev ruby1.8 ri1.8 rdoc1.8 irb1.8 libreadline-ruby1.8 libruby1.8 libopenssl-ruby wget $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/bin/ruby $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ri1.8 /usr/bin/ri $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/rdoc1.8 /usr/bin/rdoc $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/irb1.8 /usr/bin/irb {% endhighlight %}
Installing RubyGems
It is recommended that you install RubyGems from source. All the dependencies for RubyGems were installed above already so installing from source is fairly painless:
{% highlight bash %} $ cd ~ $ wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz $ tar xvzf rubygems-1.3.7.tgz $ cd rubygems-1.3.7 $ sudo ruby setup.rb $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem {% endhighlight bash %}
You'll also want to verify that RubyGems is fully updated, since the packages can often get out of date:
{% highlight bash %} $ sudo gem update --system {% endhighlight %}
VirtualBox OSE
By default, VirtualBox installed via Ubuntu's package repositories will be "VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE)." Vagrant may work with this edition (as long as its version 3.1+), but it is not officially supported. It is recommended that you download the installation package from the VirtualBox website for the full version.
