sudo apt install ruby not working

When running sudo apt install ruby or sudo apt install ruby-full

And checking ruby -v I get the error:

user@C-Ubuntu:~$ ruby -v Command 'ruby' not found, but can be installed with: sudo snap install ruby # version 2.7.0, or sudo apt install ruby See 'snap info ruby' for additional versions. 

Even when running sudo apt purge ruby ruby-full or sudo apt remove ruby ruby-full

Help is greatly appriciated :)

Which version of Ubuntu are you using? I've tested it in my Ubuntu 18.04 and able to install with below command.

$ sudo apt install ruby 

try to do the following and see if it helps.

$ sudo snap install ruby –classic 

Check this link below, which has alternate methods of installation in case of "apt & snap" are not working.

Seems that only the snap install works. But still on ubuntu 18.04 apt install does not work. (Tested on 2 different Ubuntu 18 systems)
