Or you can use

  `ruby test.rb`

Of course, this assumes that the ruby executable is actually called ruby. By 
the way, using the backtick syntax, the output of the executed program is not 
displayed on the screen, but is returned as a result of the `` method call. 
If you the output from the executed program to be displayed, you can use the 
system method.
