Hello @jazzvaga,

What methods / commands / execution functions you use to deal with your code in Ruby Language?

Do you mean what are the command-line switches to use Ruby?

If you want to test a one-liner you can do it with the -e switch, with the format:

ruby -e '<your code here>'

for instance:

ruby -e 'puts "Hello WebmasterServe"'

If you want to interpret your program, you simply pass it to ruby in the command line:

ruby <your program's file path here>

Say you saved your program as the file wms.rb

puts "Hello WebmasterServe"

You would run it like:

ruby wms.rb

If you want to execute your program directly as any other program in your box, then you would add a shebang + ruby's interpreter path as your program's first line:

#!/usr/bin/ruby
puts "Hello WebMasterServe"

Then give it execution permission with CHMOD:

chmod +x wms.rb

And finally run it as you would do with any other program:

./wms.rb
