Hey so this worked great! I got the kernelspec list to list out ruby. I dont know how to initiate the ruby session though. you said to change the runtime to ruby but when I go to runtime dropdown box runtime seems to just be related to the processing unit type (GPU CPU TPU). How would I switch to ruby? also I am using a mac and I noticed when I run "!jupyter kernelspec list" I get
Available kernels:
ruby /root/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/ruby
ir /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/ir
python2 /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/python2
python3 /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/python3
swift /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/swift
as pictured. The ruby directory has a period before local, which I know for mac is indicating a hidden folder. I am wondering if there is an issue here?
It looks like you installed the ruby kernel correctly. In addition to the hardware accelerator, I think you'll see a comobobox to select a language.
(I tried to change the language of GoogleColab's settings to English to take the screenshot, but was unable to do so for some reason. Instead I found cat mode and corgi mode.)
Ruby's kernel isn't officially supported by Google, so the installation location is different, and that's okay I guess!
Oh I see. I dont have that option “Runtime type”. I looked into it and it seems I need a notebook which has this already, I think??? This link to stack overflow gives a link to a java notebook which activate that dropdown box for me. But it only has jar and python (even after I install ruby in that notebook).
I think this has something to do with your tutorial where you upload the ruby notebook??? I saved it and uploaded it but I must not be doing it right because it just looks like this and doesnt affect anything
I see. That's odd....
You will need to upload a new notebook.
My article is out of date, so please use the latest version of the Notebook made by Goto, who wrote an article on how to use Ruby on Google colab yesterday. It might work fine.
You may also find the article made by Goto helpful. (This is a Japanese article from a Dev.to-like site called Qiita, which you can read using Google Translate.) qiita.com/ngotogenome/items/d95a7a...
yesssssssssss!!!!! that worked! thank you so much for your guidance!!! I made a google colab file with english comments and sections for other people to use if they want to. credited the original author and also you since you helped me make it work! thanks again!!!!
Hello. PhillipMaire
You are right. Now the method of installing IRuby needs to be changed.
If you can't start Ruby, you can use the following command to check if the kernel is installed.
Regards.

Click the save button to start a Ruby session.

here is an example of it working with that java notebook from the link

here is what mine looks like when I open a new notebook and install ruby
