====== How To: Install Ruby ======
By default, Ruby is installed on the Eee PC. However, it is lacking both the ''rdoc'' and ''irb'' packages needed to follow many books (eg. [[http://tinyurl.com/36v6tq|Beginning Ruby]]) and other learning material provided by academic institutions. This How To describes how to install ''rdoc'' and ''irb'', and ensure that your Ruby is compatible with them, without making any other lasting changes to your system.
