Hello all,
I am new to programing, and especially new to Ruby.
I just downloaded it on my MAC and am going through my Begining Ruby"
tutorial.
I've gotten the correct response for "ruby -v", but when I type "irb"
into the command prompt but the result I get is ">>" not
"irb(main):001:0>"
I don't know what I did wrong, and it's making me want to hit my head
against a wall.
Please help:)

Well I'm not a Mac user but that means the shell is working? That's the
only explanation. Try Ruby --help...

Hi, I don't know offhand what is causing the difference (maybe some version
of Ruby has set the prompt differently in irb), BUT I do know it isn't a
problem. The ">>" is just a different way of saying "type your code here".
The makeup of the prompt isn't particularly important, the most important
thing is just that it shows up and you can evaluate code there.

which irb
/usr/bin/irb is too old. using /usr/local/bin/irb.
or install pry instead irb.

You can use *irb --prompt default* instead of only irb

Best thing is to install ruby-1.9.3. The default ruby is deprecated under macosx.
Search for a guide online, there are more than I can count

On Linux this happens when I pass --simple-prompt to irb
