How do you run Ruby scripts?
I installed Ruby on Synaptic Package Manager but when I double click a .rb file it just opens using Leafpad instead of running. I can't find Ruby in the start menu and when I type Ruby in LXTerminal nothing happens.
I'm basically trying to figure out how to run https://dev.wikia.com/wiki/RubyWikiDownloader to make a copy of images in a folder as backup and transferring.
scripts lubuntu ruby archive mediawiki

If you have ruby installed you can try to open terminal in path you have script.rb and type:
ruby your_program.rb
If you don't have ruby installed, you have to install it and retry.

If you have ruby installed you can try to open terminal in path you have script.rb and type:
ruby your_program.rb
If you don't have ruby installed, you have to install it and retry.
