Summary

In this chapter, we learned how Ruby libraries are installed, used, and named (gems). We also learned to use the bundler tool to install gems, creating environments for our scripts and programs to function correctly. Lastly, we learned the most basic OOP syntax to both create, instantiate, and inherit classes. Now, we are ready to start debugging.
