How exactly do you run a .rb ruby script file outside of a program like geany or netbeans? Is there a way to do it with a launcher or an executable text file?
Running ruby scripts

Use an executable text file. Execute it from an xterm terminal.
The script must have as its first line the shebang + path_to_ruby

What would the proper shebang be? Thanks! ^_^
I know very little about ruby programming and any programming in ruby that I do is not under ubuntu. But im going to take a guess at ./ ?? I might be wrong though, so I would check with someone else if this fails.
The program permission must be executable. The first line (could be #!/usr/local/bin/ruby OR #!/usr/bin/env ruby) Filename ends in ".rb"
#!/usr/bin/ruby puts "hello"
