+If you are you running Ruby 2.0.x, you do not need to upgrade ruby, but can consider doing so for performance reasons.

+If you are running Ruby 2.1.1 consider upgrading to 2.1.2, because of the high memory usage of Ruby 2.1.1.

+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev curl

+Download and compile Ruby:

+```bash
+mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
+curl --progress ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.1/ruby-2.1.2.tar.gz | tar xz
+cd ruby-2.1.2
+./configure --disable-install-rdoc
+make
+sudo make install
