What is the easiest way to install Ruby on my server - ruby

I want to code pages in Ruby so that my website can be run in Ruby (just like I have a php install on my server).
What's the easiest way to go about this?

You can use Heroku and forget about Ruby server installation.

The answer to this question varies heavily depending on your operating system. But instructions for downloading and installing ruby on many systems are on the download page.
However, if you're planning on using it for a webserver, you probably also want Rails.

Extension Library in Domino: Server or Client? Or both?

this may seem like a dumb question but im not that long into Notes/Domino.
I want to run Extension Library by openNTF. Now the question is, if i develop an application with it, can the application itself be used by other clients eventough they dont have the Ext. Lib. installed?
And when i say used i mean USED, not edited. And if not, do they need Ext.Lib.(client) too or can i just install it on the Server? Or do i have to install it on both?
Sorry for the bad english.
Thanks if you can answer :)
Using one of the OSGI Plug-ins (the Extension Library is one such plugins) means that the machine running the code will need to have that plug-in already installed.
This is an excellent first step from Stephan Wissel
You are going to need to set up an updatesite for your server in any case. If your users are using the Xpages application using the browser they won't need to install anything, if you are counting in using XPinc (XPages in Notes Client), then the library will need to be pushed to the user's local machines as well, typically with a widget catalog.

Install RubyGems on GoDaddy shared hosting?

I just moved my domains over to GoDaddy without knowing that they pulled all Ruby support as of late last month and I kind of need Ruby for what I was planning on building. I've seen guides like this one that detail how to install Ruby through RubyGems on shared hosting. I made it through the guide but still wasn't able to load gems to my home directory.
Does anyone have any experience with this or any guidance? I guess doing it through RubyGems into the home directory isn't the same as installing on the server, so it should bypass the shared server restrictions. I just can't get any "gem" commands to run. I was probably screwing up the edits to the bash_profile, though.
I'm the head of Product for Hosting at GoDaddy and wanted to jump in.
We did EOL support for Ruby on our legacy shared platform (there were literally a handful of people using it) but the plan is that once we get the cPanel-based shared Linux platform up to where we want it we will reintroduce Ruby and even have support for Rails. ;-)
Right now we're not there but it is coming. I'm betting it isn't in the next month or so given the list of things we're working on for the core product but we will be supporting it in the not too distant future.

Cloud 9 IDE and Ruby on Rails

Has anyone successfully created a Ruby on Rails (2.3.8) with Ruby (1.8.7) on the Cloud 9 IDE?
I have tried several times, but the lack of documentation is a bit irritating, and every time I attempt to load the version of Ruby on Rails and Ruby that I need the whole workspace seems to break.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can supply any additional information needed upon request.
Link to more information from post on Cloud9 IDE website: Cloud9 IDE Support
Thank you for you time.
I used Cloud9 for around a year, and ended up migrating to Koding mainly because of issues like this. Koding gives you root access in your VM, so you can install and use whatever you like. None of these permission issues :)

SSH Terminal in Browser in Ruby

I've taken a look at the Net-SSH gem, but it doesn't seem to support the in browser aspect. Before I start integrating that gem with javascript and a full user interface, I just wanted to ask the community if there are any libraries that have done this for me already. Feel free to suggest libraries outside of ruby. Any and all suggestions welcome.
There is already a product: GateOne. But sorry it is Python.

install bug tracking system redmine on webspace

I just started using redmine. I installed it on my local machine (Windows7 64-Bit). But I want to use it with other people. We don't have a server, but I have a webspace I can access via ftp. Part of the webspace is a MySQL-database, I could also use for redmine.
Is there a way to move (or install) redmine on that webspace?
I've e.g. installed Joomla by uploading the Joomla files via ftp. Than I could configure Joomla through a web interface. That is something I would hope for redmine as-well.
Thanks.
It depends.™
If your webspace supports ruby/ruby on rails, it might work. Sadly, most webspace offerings only support PHP.
You could check out Heroku if you are looking for a managed solution (they have free plan which might be enough for your needs) or get a small (v)server. However, you should know what you are doing if you're going to set up your own server.
You might wanna check out plan.io too, they offer hosted Redmine.
