How to install ruby on Debian6

after following the install instruction here on my Debian system

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1

I still get the error 

root@MyDebianVPS:/usr/local# ruby
bash: ruby: command not found

should I restart my system to make it work or I miss something?

$ su root

try ruby1.9 ... they may not have symlinked the command to ruby.

You are going to want to look to see if that is what the Debian package is actually called.

Try this:

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9

If that completes, awesome. Then try:

ruby -v

And report back what you have.
