Install ruby using VM and manual

Is going to be a problem is I try install ruby manually and then install again using VM? or I have to choose between this 2 method?

No problem, these are two separate things. You should decide at some point which one to use in the long run though :)

ahh OK, I see that most ruby course in treehouse use VM to install. I'll go with VM then :)

Treehouse's VMs are good, because they give you dedicated machines for each course with proper versions of Ruby, Rails and other gems. Using different versions than the ones in the videos can cause a lot of frustration.
