Install ruby with bundler to your Linux or Mac machine (no love for windows) If you don't know how follow the steps below
Mac comes pre-installed with (an old version of) Ruby. If you have not yet installed a better version of ruby let's do that now. (we're going to do this from the console, so open that)

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git-core python-software-properties openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev libgdbm-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool bison subversion pkg-config libffi-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libpq-dev imagemagick ufw postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev nodejs
Install rbenv
$ git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
