-Make sure you have "Ruby and bundler":{{site.baseurl}}/install/install-manual-prerequisites-ruby.html installed.
+Arvados CLI tools are written in Ruby and Python. To use the @arv@ command, you can either install the @arvados-cli@ gem via RubyGems or build and install the package from source. The @arv@ command also relies on other Arvados tools. To get those, install the @arvados-python-client@ and @arvados-cwl-runner@ packages, either from PyPI or source.
-Install curl libraries with your system's package manager. For example, on Debian or Ubuntu:
+h2. Prerequisites
-<notextile>
-<pre>
-$ <code class="userinput">sudo apt-get install libcurl3 libcurl3-gnutls libcurl4-openssl-dev</code>
-</pre>
-</notextile>
+# "Install Ruby":../../install/ruby.html
+# "Install the Python SDK":../python/sdk-python.html
-h4. Option 1: install with RubyGems
+The SDK uses @curl@ which depends on the @libcurl@ C library. To build the module you may have to install additional packages. On Debian 10 this is:

-$ <code class="userinput">sudo gem install arvados-cli</code>
+$ apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev
</pre>
-</notextile>
