Cool, so far you are doing everything right; well, one version of right =]

What you are looking for is 'irb'. That is the interactive ruby console 
which will allow you to try code line or block at a time. It should be 
in your path with rvm.

When you want to try putting scripts together, simply put a hash bang 
line at the top along these lines;

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

And then make your script executable;

chmod u+x /path/to/your/script


Have fun
