Install Vim
  • run this command sudo apt install vim-gtk-py2

Sync your bash alias as seen below:

  • go to bashrc by running this command: vim ~/.bashrc and paste this code
#Git Aliases
alias gs="git status --short"  
alias go="git checkout "  
alias ga="git add "  
alias gp="git push -u origin "  
alias gl="git pull origin "  
alias gc="git commit "

Install Rbenv

Step 1: This will get you going with the latest version of rbenv
$ git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv

Step 2: Add ~/.rbenv/bin to your $PATH for access to the rbenv command-line utility.
Run this code:
$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

Step 3: Run ~/.rbenv/bin/rbenv init for shell-specific instructions on how to initialize rbenv to enable shims and autocompletion.

go to ~/.bashrc and paste this code:

eval "$(rbenv init -)"

#####Install Ruby-build

Installing ruby-build as an rbenv plugin will give you access to the rbenv install command.

run this command:
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build

This will install the latest development version of ruby-build into the ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build directory. From that directory, you can check out a specific release tag. To update ruby-build, run git pull to download the latest changes.

To install a Ruby version you want to use with rbenv, run rbenv install with the exact version you want to install. example: rbenv install <version 2.3.1>

we need 2.3.1 because vim package that we installed is using ruby 2.3.1

Ruby versions will be installed into a directory of the same name under ~/.rbenv/versions.

To check the rbenv versions you've installed. run this command rbenv versions.

to set what version of rbenv you what to use as global. run this command rbenv global <version 2.3.1>
To check the ruby versions you've installed. run this command ruby -v.
