1,070 PointsIf you have access to a dedicated server, then your best bet is to follow instructions such as those found here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-on-centos-6-with-rvm
It's fairly standard/straight-forward. There are a multitude of other add-ons/configurations you can do to help your application deployment and performance...this is where it can get deep fast. With that being said, if there are specifics as it relates to your application/deployment/etc, please let me know and I'm happy to help.
If you are just starting out with getting into RoR, then I'd recommend leveraging a provider such as Heroku (and the associated Heroku deployment video found here.) It's free to start and once you have that down, you can work on learning how to spin up a server from scratch.
