There is nothing inherently special about an Arvados shell server. It is just a GNU/Linux machine with Arvados utilites and SDKs installed. For optimal performance, the Arvados shell server should be on the same LAN as the Arvados cluster, but that is not required.
h2. Install the Ruby SDK and utilities
-If you're using RVM:
+First, install the curl development libraries necessary to build the Arvados Ruby SDK. On Debian-based systems:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+On Red Hat-based systems:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install libcurl-devel</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+Next, install the arvados-cli Ruby gem. If you're using RVM:
<notextile>
<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo /usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm-exec default gem install arvados-cli</span>
If you're not using RVM:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo gem install arvados-cli</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo -i gem install arvados-cli</span>
</code></pre>
