You could try it simpler, just any editor that does not annoy you,
i.e. nano or bluefish. Save your .rb file, inside it something like:


  puts 'Enter input now please:'
  user_input = gets.chomp

  case user_input
  when 'q'
    puts 'bye!'
    exit
  when 'hi'
    puts 'Hi there, lets code more'
  else
    puts 'Input '+user_input+' was unknown to me.'
  end


And if you saved it like named "foobar.rb", do
ruby foobar.rb

It should wait for your user input.
