I am a new commer to this site and I am learning Ruby for my Ph.D. thesis to write a plug-in for SketchUp. Since I am architect, I am unfamiliar with software terminology. I have also problems with Ruby Interpreter, I have downloaded Ruby http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ from Ruby 1.8.5 One-Click Installer And now how is possible to get the Interpreter What should I do? Can you help me? How can I manage with those some simple hacks???
