To get the most out of this book

You will need Ruby 3.1.1 installed (follow the instructions in the book if needed to set up Ruby). You will also need Git installed on your computer as Ruby libraries (gems) rely on git to obtain its source code. If you’re using macOS, you will require either Xcode command-line tools or Xcode itself to be installed before you can use Ruby. Though not compulsory, you should also install rbenv to allow yourself to install different versions of Ruby.
