Did It Work?

Maybe you didn’t need any help installing Ruby, so you skipped Chapter 1. No problem.

Maybe you’ve done a little programming before, so you skipped Chapter 2. That’s fine.

The only thing is that you missed some stuff there that you didn’t really need until now. If you haven’t been running your programs from the command line, then you’ll almost certainly have problems with gets, and we’re going to be using it a lot from now on. So, if you saved your program as example.rb, you should really run your program by typing ruby example.rb into your command line. If you’re having trouble getting around on your command line, check out Chapter 1, ​Getting Started​.
