Google for instructions on installing Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu, then if you
run in to trouble post back here. But basically, you want to run the package
installer (apt-get) to install ruby. Once ruby is installed you will be able
to use ruby gems to install the rest you need. It is probably too much for
right now but at some point you shold look at using rvm which helps you
manage different versions of ruby on the same machine and to allow different
installations of rails configurations for your different projects.
