You want to open a command prompt & run your program by passing it to
the ruby interpreter, like so (assuming windows):

  c:\my_folder\ruby hello.rb

Also--I don't think you want a backtick character here:

  puts 'Hi, what\`s your first name? '

You want a single-quote/apostrophe:

  puts 'Hi, what\'s your first name? '

HTH,
