If you don’t know how something is called (e.g. **) in Ruby, check this project: What do you call this in Ruby?.
Recommend ruby-install and chruby. What’s .ruby-version?
Stable versions across all implementations, please check Ruby Versions. Currently you should use Ruby 2.6+ (2021 July 22, Ruby 2.5 is EOL).

Nowadays I tried to choose boring ones an minimal production (standard library, what big company is using).
