Download and Install

Install dependencies

Before you begin developing, ensure you install Ruby version 2.7 or later in your development environment. Ruby is pre-installed on macOS and some Linux distributions, but you might need to update your version.

Create a project directory

Run the following command in your shell to create a directory called ruby-quickstart for this project:

mkdir ruby-quickstart

Then, run the following commands to create a quickstart.rb file in the ruby-quickstart directory:

cd ruby-quickstart
touch quickstart.rb

Add the Ruby driver to your project

Open the quickstart.rb file and add the following code:

require 'bundler/inline'
gemfile do
   source 'https://rubygems.org'
   gem 'mongo'
end

This code adds the Ruby driver as a dependency by using the Bundler dependency management tool.
