Console Won't Work?

Hi Just started the Ruby Basics there. Opened workspaces and did as told typed ruby -v to get the version and make sure it's installed. It does nothing the console doesn't respond with anything. I have tried restarting and opening plenty of new workspaces too. Any help anyone?

Hi Cian, a great tool to install Ruby and manage the installation of various versions of Ruby on te same platform is rvm. After rvm is installed, you will be able to install ruby with the simple command rvm install 2.2.3, if this is the version number you want to install. Here is the guide to get started with rvm: https://rvm.io/rvm/install. When you have successfully installed rvm you will see its version number after typing rvm -v on the console.
