That depends on which linux distribution you use. Without knowing that, we 
can't give you an answer. For example, on Gentoo it is:

sudo emerge "=ruby-1.8.6_p369"

but on Debian, or Mandriva or Ubuntu, or... the command would be completely 
different.

If you want an answer, please, tell us which distribution are you using.
