找不到安装ruby sudo make命令（Vagrant，Virtualbox）

Question

I am trying to get a development environment up and running. I installed virtualbox and then used vagrant with the hashicorp/precise32 box. I access the VM through ssh and am trying to install the latest version of ruby.

I pasted

wget -O ruby-install-0.5.0.tar.gz https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install/archive/v0.5.0.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ruby-install-0.5.0.tar.gz
cd ruby-install-0.5.0/
sudo make install

into the command line from https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install#readme

The prompt shows sudo make install and when I hit enter I get a message that says "sudo: make: command not found."

What am I doing wrong?

I know there are boxes with ruby already setup but I wanted to go through the process myself so learn a bit along the way.

A separate issue I came across was that this box has an outdated version of ubuntu. When I try to upgrade it warns me not to do it over SSH. Is there a better way?

Thanks

Maybe you don't have make installed on Ubuntu. You can install the package build-essential which will install make and other building tools.

sudo apt-get install build-essential

also, here's a good reference on installing Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and other tools on Ubuntu.
