Re: #!/usr/bin/env: No such file or directory

as others suggested you can do the following:

Link directly to your ruby executable:
#!/usr/bin/ruby

This line is called the shebang line, whenever your computer tries to read
a script, this line tells the computer what program to run this script
with. If you shebang to your ruby program directly, there is no issue. But
if you share the code, or install ruby to a different directory later on,
you have to change the line, some people might be using RVM, or have it
installed in #!/usr/local/bin/ruby instead. So we use the ENV program to
find the appropriate version of ruby in the PATH. #!/usr/bin/env ruby says
use the ruby that is returned by the env program. this way ENV returns the
ruby that is set for use in your systems path. This changes computer to
computer, so it is the most standard way of writing the shebang line to
make sure your code works on multiple machines. #!/usr/bin/env just dumps
your entire environment.

To see what I mean, type env in terminal and console. Then type env ruby
and see what happens.

Cheers,

Richard
