It's probably relative to the project, but in my experience with jQuery and rails you will need to find version compatible gems and add those gems to your gemfile. You'll most likely have to download a jQuery library and store it somewhere on your server, unless you're referencing an external library like Google code library for example. Then you will put a header tag in your site to declare the javascript.. etc. As usual with displaying jQuery on a website.
