First of all, you would need a Vim version that is compiled with Ruby support enabled. You achieve this with:

./configure <the rest of your options> --enable-rubyinterp

on a Linux system, for example.

The next steps would be installing the plugins of your choice, you probably want NERDTree, snipMate, vim-ruby-debugger....

There are a lot of plugins to make your life easier, but there is always the option to run arbitrary shell commands from within Vim, no extra plugin needed:

!ruby /path/to/script.rb

This will execute script.rb and print the shell output directly in Vim itself.

I would visit https://github.com/ and put "ruby vim" into search box. You should find plenty interesting add-ons for vim this way.
