How to: Install Ruby on Rails using RVM

This is just a quick complement of the article How to: Install the NginX Agent for NewRelic in an Ubuntu server. As I mentioned there if you need Ruby for something other than running a plugin agent like in a development web server RVM is the way to go. Below are the quick instructions on how to deploy Ruby using RVM:

1.  sudo apt-get install curl

2.  curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

3.  source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

4.  rvm requirements

5.  rvm install 2.1.0

6.  rvm use 2.1.0

7.  rvm --default use 2.1.0

8.  gem install rails -v 4.0.2

As always, check out http://rvm.io/ for the latest up to date information on RVM.
