Learn Ruby

A sandbox for experimenting with the Ruby programming language.

Getting Started

1. Download and install dependencies:

   • Vagrant, a tool for managing development environments
   • VirtualBox, a tool for building and running virtual machines

2. Clone this repository, from the Git Shell on Windows or Terminal on Mac OS X:

   $ git clone https://github.com/Pitt-CSC/learn-ruby.git
   

3. Start the Vagrant machine:

   $ vagrant up
   

   The first time you start the VM, Ruby 2.1.3 will be installed on it. This will take a while -- be patient!

Usage

To use the sandbox, make the sure the VM is running:

$ vagrant up

Open a shell in the VM:

$ vagrant ssh

In the VM, the learn-ruby repository is mounted at /vagrant. Change into the /vagrant directory:

$ cd /vagrant
