Description

In order to execute commands installed by gems, one has to add the line

eval `ruby.env`

to one's .bashrc. This is only stated in this old article but not in the package description or anywhere else. In my opinion this should be more clearly stated as I think this is a useful feature and (not entirely sure) the default behaviour if I were to install it using apt.

Research direction

Compare the package description with the linked 2018 article and the .bashrc setup described in the issue. Update the appropriate package documentation to clearly explain when and why to add eval \ruby.env``; done means users can find this setup without relying on the old article.
