Ruby 2.3 is recommended; Ruby 2.1 is also known to work.

h4(#rvm). *Option 1: Install with RVM*

<notextile>
<pre><code><span class="userinput">sudo gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable --ruby=2.3
</span></code></pre></notextile>

Either log out and log back in to activate RVM, or explicitly load it in all open shells like this:

<notextile>
<pre><code><span class="userinput">source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
</span></code></pre></notextile>

Once RVM is activated in your shell, install Bundler:

<notextile>
<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">gem install bundler</span>
</code></pre></notextile>
