Answer 1

Python comes as an inbuilt package in Ubuntu. To run a Python script, open up your terminal and change to the directory where you have your Python code.

Now type:

python <your_filename>.py

To run Ruby code, you need to install the Ruby package. To install it, type the following code in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install ruby

After installing, to check if Ruby is installed correctly,type:

ruby - v

If this shows your Ruby version, you have successfully installed Ruby.

To run Ruby code, type :

ruby <your_filename>.rb
