Hello. I created a ruby program in Smultron, but I couldn't figure out
how to run it on a mac. Should I download anything to execute it? I
thought Macs had ruby pre -installed. Thanks.

Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and type: ruby file.rb
You could also type irb to get an interactive console.

You can also add the following line at the very beginning of your ruby script:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
and then run the following command in the Terminal.app:
chmod u+x /path/to/your/file.rb
Then you'll be able to invoke the file by its name.
By the way, ruby that comes with OS X is a bit outdated, so it will be not a bad option to install a fresh version. The simplest approach is to use MacPorts.
Your sincerely,
