Then the script to get RVM

Installing RVM to /home/administrator/.rvm/
Adding rvm PATH line to /home/administrator/.profile /home/administrator/.mkshrc
/home/administrator/.bashrc /home/administrator/.zshrc.
Adding rvm loading line to /home/administrator/.profile /home/administrator/.bash_profile
/home/administrator/.zlogin.
Installation of RVM in /home/administrator/.rvm/ is almost complete:
* To start using RVM you need to run `source /home/administrator/.rvm/scripts/rvm`
in all your open shell windows, in rare cases you need to reopen all shell windows.

Ruby is a dynamic programming language you can use to write anything from simple scripts to games and web applications. It was first released in Japan in 1993, but gained popularity in 2005 as a language for server-side web development. Ruby is designed to be easy to use and fun for beginners, but powerful enough to create complex systems. It's a great choice for beginners and experienced developers alike.
While there are many ways to install Ruby on Ubuntu, the easiest method is to use RVM, the Ruby Version Manager. It downloads the latest version of Ruby and installs all of the prerequisite libraries.
