+## Installation guide
+
+- **Ruby:**
+  In [step 2 of the installation guide](../install/installation.md#2-ruby),
+  we install Ruby from source. Whenever there is a new version that needs to
+  be updated, remember to change it throughout the codeblock and also replace
+  the sha256sum (it can be found in the [downloads page][ruby-dl] of the Ruby
+  website).
