Follow the documentation online to install the latest LTS version of Rails and all dependencies needed. I suggest the Odin Project as it’s a reliable source. Find it here

MVC

Ruby On Rails deploys an MVC architecture. Read a bit more about it Model-View-Controller (MVC).

Routes

This is how Rails routes the HTTP requests to server the proper controllers and all routes can be found in config/routes.rb file or by typing in the terminal rails routes. Example file:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  root "homepage#index"
  get "/about", to: "about#index"
end

The most important route in your app is the root route, as it directs to the homepage or your index. For example :root "homepage#index" where homepage is the controller and index is the action (method).
