1. Save it in a text file, like query_google.rb (or whatever yours does)

2. Open up a terminal. On Mac, you can type "Terminal" into the spotlight,
and it will locate the application for you. On Windows, Click the start bar,
then click run, then type in "cmd" (If you're on Windows 7, you have
something called the power shell that is worth looking into)

3. Navigate to the directory you saved it in (use "cd mydir" to change to
the "mydir" directory -- directory is nerdspeak for folder -- on windows,
these commands might be different)

4. Type "ruby query_google.rb"
