 h2(#packages). Option 1: Install from packages
 
+{% include 'notebox_begin' %}
+Future versions of Arvados may require a newer version of Ruby than is packaged with your OS.  Using OS packages simplifies initial install, but may complicate upgrades that rely on a newer Ruby.  If this is a concern, we recommend using "RVM.":#rvm

 h3. Centos 7
 
 The Ruby version shipped with Centos 7 is too old.  Use "RVM.":#rvm
 
 h3. Debian and Ubuntu
 
+Debian 9 (stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) ship Ruby 2.3, which is sufficient to run Arvados.  Later releases have newer versions of Ruby that can also run Arvados.
