Is installing ruby on ubuntu have the same steps of installing ruby on mac?

I am having trouble installing it on ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64. Are there any good resources where I can get everything set up in this environment?

You could have a look through the Rails documentation: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/

Or there maybe a homebrew version that would work for you.

I hope there's something in there that helps you out.
