How to update ruby on linux (ubuntu)?

Question

I\'m newbie on both ruby and linux, so I\'m sure this is trivial but I don\'t know yet. I currently have ruby 1.8.7 installed and I want to update it to ruby 1.9. How can I do t

First, which version of ubuntu are you using, it might be easiest to just upgrade to one that has it.

Next, enable backports (system menue, adminstration, software sources), and search for in in synaptic.

Last, look for a ppa for it.
