irb is a standard install item for Ruby.  Try:

% irb

at the cammand line.  This is an interactive Ruby shell.  For playing 
with code; trying things out.  Try feeding it lines of Ruby code:

3.times { puts "Hello!" }

p [3, 5, 2, 4, 1].sort

Absolutely.  Mix classes and code anyway you like.  Ruby won't mind.
