When trying to install ruby-switch I get the following message: Package ruby-switch is not available (...)

bern@pc:~$ sudo apt-get install ruby-switch Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Package ruby-switch is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'ruby-switch' has no installation candidate

Hi Chuyin,

Your error is saying it can't find ruby-switch in any of your repositories. According to Brightbox, the repository added in the video is still the right one. If it helps you, I use RVM for ruby version management in Ubuntu. There is a good guide to set up Ruby on Rails this way here.
