Create a text file called
hello-world.rb
containing the following code:puts 'Hello world'
Now run it at the shell prompt.
$ ruby hello-world.rb Hello world
You can also run the short "hello world" program without creating a text file at all. This is called a one-liner.
$ ruby -e "puts 'Hello world'" Hello world
You can run this code with irb, but the output will look slightly different.
puts
will print out "Hello world
", but irb
will also print out the return value of puts
– which is nil
.$ irb >> puts "Hello world" Hello world => nil
Like Perl, Bash, and C Shell, Ruby uses the hash symbol (also called Pound Sign, number sign, Square, or octothorpe) for comments. Everything from the hash to the end of the line is ignored when the program is run by Ruby. For example, here's ourhello-world.rb
program with comments.# My first Ruby program # On my way to Ruby fame & fortune! puts 'Hello world'You can append a comment to the end of a line of code, as well. Everything before the hash is treated as normal Ruby code.puts 'Hello world' # Print out "Hello world"You can also comment several lines at a time:=begin This program will print "Hello world". =end puts 'Hello world'execute by clicking the link "run" online Although block comments can start on the same line as=begin
, the=end
must have its own line. You cannot insert block comments in the middle of a line of code as you can in C, C++, and Java, although you can have non-comment code on the same line as the=end
.=begin This program will print "Hello world" =end puts 'Hello world'In Unix-like operating systems – such as Linux, Mac OS X, and Solaris – you will want to mark your Ruby scripts as executable using thechmod
command. This also works with the Cygwinversion of Ruby.$ chmod +x hello-world.rbYou need to do this each time you create a new Ruby script. If you rename a Ruby script, or edit an existing script, you do not need to run "chmod +x
" again.Next, add a shebang line as the very first line of your Ruby script. The shebang line is read by the shell to determine what program to use to run the script. This line cannot be preceded by any blank lines or any leading spaces. The newhello-world.rb
program – with the shebang line – looks like this:#!/usr/bin/ruby puts 'Hello world'If yourruby
executable is not in the/usr/bin
directory, change the shebang line to point to the correct path. The other common place to find theruby
executable is/usr/local/bin/ruby
.The shebang line is ignored by Ruby – since the line begins with a hash, Ruby treats the line as a comment. Hence, you can still run the Ruby script on operating systems such as Windows whose shell does not support shebang lines.Now, you can run your Ruby script without typing in the wordruby
. However, for security reasons, Unix-like operating systems do not search the current directory for executables unless it happens to be listed in your PATH environment variable. So you need to do one of the following:
- Create your Ruby scripts in a directory that is already in your PATH.
- Add the current directory to your PATH (not recommended).
- Specify the directory of your script each time you run it.
Most people start with #3. Running an executable Ruby script that is located in the current directory looks like this:$ ./hello-world.rbOnce you have completed a script, it's common to create a~/bin
directory, add this to your PATH, and move your completed script here for running on a day-to-day basis. Then, you can run your script like this:$ hello-world.rbIf you install the native Windows version of Ruby using the Ruby One-Click Installer, then the installer has setup Windows to automatically recognize your Ruby scripts as executables. Just type the name of the script to run it.$ hello-world.rb Hello worldIf this does not work, or if you installed Ruby in some other way, follow these steps.
- Log in as an administrator.
- Run the standard Windows "Command Prompt",
cmd
.- At the command prompt (i.e. shell prompt), run the following Windows commands. When you run
ftype
, change the command-line arguments to correctly point to where you installed theruby.exe
executable on your computer.$ assoc .rb=RubyScript .rb=RubyScript $ ftype RubyScript="c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "%1" %* RubyScript="c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "%1" %*For more help with these commands, run "help assoc
" and "help ftype
".
