#Environment Setup

What's Happening?

1. We'll download and install a text editor.
2. We'll install Ruby on our machines (or verify that it is installed)

##Text Editor

Download Sublime Text sublimetext.com/download

##Command Line

The command line is a tool that allows you to talk to your computer’s operating system, which can do things like browse directories, open files, run programs, and much more

##What does it look like?

##Command Line

• The command line can be really intimidating at first
• It takes practice to master but is worth it, I promise.
• Don’t freak out.

##Command Line

Windows: Command Prompt

Mac: Terminal

Mac OS X

• Ruby comes pre-installed on Mac OSX!
• Open your Terminal and type ruby -v,
• Hit Enter

You should see something like this:

ruby 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [x86_64-darwin12.0]

Windows

• Go to rubyinstaller.org
• Download & install RubyInstaller (when in doubt, click OK!)
• Choose “Start Command Prompt with Ruby” from your Start menu

Verify Ruby Install

From the Windows Command Propt or OS X Terminal, type:

ruby -v

If you get something that looks close to this:

ruby 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [x86_64-darwin12.0]

Then life is good. You should only worry if you see things that look like errors - different version numbers are ok.
