You should really only need to download the binary version and put its
"bin" dir in your PATH somewhere. As long as there's a "java" command
available or a JAVA_HOME set, you should be good to go.

(by binary version, I mean the -bin download tarball, which unpacks to
a complete JRuby "home". In there you'll find bin/jruby and other
commands to get started)

Easiest Ruby install ever :)
