# Ruby

The Ruby plugin extends IntelliJ IDEA with the full-scale functionality for [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/) development. The plugin supports the same functionality as [RubyMine](https://www.jetbrains.com.cn/en-us/ruby/), the standalone IDE for Ruby developers.

Procedure: Install the Ruby plugin

1. In the Settings dialog (`Ctrl+Alt+S` (Windows), `⌘ Comma` (macOS), `⌘ Comma` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌘ Comma` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (XWin), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (GNOME), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (KDE), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Emacs), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Sublime Text), `⌘ Comma` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (NetBeans), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Visual Studio), `⌘ Comma` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Eclipse), `⌘ Comma` (Eclipse (macOS))), select  Plugins.

2. Find the plugin in the  Marketplace and click Install.

3. Wait for IntelliJ IDEA to install the plugin. After that, you can start using [Ruby/Rails features](get-started.html).

## JRuby integration

IntelliJ IDEA supports JRuby to allow you to integrate Ruby code with the Java ecosystem by running Ruby on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

Configuring JRuby in your project is different from setting up pure Ruby projects. For more details, refer to [Set up JRuby integration](set-up-a-jruby-integration.html) this topic.
