+
+Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS) for Ruby from TuxCare provides security fixes for Ruby versions that have reached their end-of-life. This allows you to continue running your server vulnerability-free.
+
+## About ALT-Ruby
+
+alt-ruby is a component provided by TuxCare designed for managing Ruby versions on servers and enabling users to run multiple Ruby versions simultaneously.
+
+Here are the key features and characteristics of alt-ruby:
+
+1. **Multiple Ruby Versions** - alt-ruby allows the installation and usage of various Ruby versions on a single server. This enables users to select the Ruby version that best suits their applications.
+
+2. **User Segmentation** - alt-ruby allows administrators to provide different Ruby versions for different users or applications. Each user can choose the Ruby version that suits their project.
+
+3. **Enhanced Compatibility** - alt-ruby is designed to ensure maximum compatibility with various Ruby applications and frameworks. This includes optimizations and changes to make it compatible with a wide range of Ruby applications.
+
+4. **Updates and Support** - TuxCare provides regular updates for alt-ruby, including bug fixes, performance improvements, and updates for new Ruby versions. This helps ensure the security and currency of Ruby usage.
+
+5. **Easy Version Switching** - alt-ruby allows switching between versions, users can easily manage which Ruby version is active in their environment.
+
+alt-ruby provides a more flexible and convenient environment for working with different Ruby versions on a single server, which is particularly useful in development and production environments where multiple applications have varying requirements for Ruby versions.
+
+## Supported OS and Ruby versions
+
+**Supported architecture:** 64-bit.
+
+| Operating Systems | Package Type | OS Version     |
+| :---------------: | :----------: | :------------: |
+| Debian            | DEB          | 12, 13         |
+
+**Supported Ruby versions:** 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1
+
+* Other distros and architectures upon request.
+
+## Installation Instructions
+
+1. Download the installer script:
+
+   <CodeWithCopy>
+
+   ```text
+   wget https://repo.alt.tuxcare.com/alt-ruby-els/install-els-alt-ruby-deb-repo.sh
+   ```
+   </CodeWithCopy>
+
+2. Run the installer script with your key. The installation script registers the server to CLN with the key, and adds our PGP key and repository to the server.
+
+   <CodeWithCopy>
+
+   ```text
+   bash install-els-alt-ruby-deb-repo.sh --license-key XXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
+   ```
+
+   </CodeWithCopy>
+
+   After the repository is added, you can install packages using standard commands.
+
+3. Install Ruby package and use specific versions.
+   
+   * To install a specific version only (for example, alt-ruby27):
+   
+     <CodeWithCopy>
+
+     ```text
+     apt-get install alt-ruby27
+     ```
+
+     </CodeWithCopy>
+   
+   * To find out which packages are available for installation, use the following command:
+   
+     <CodeWithCopy>
+
+     ```text
+     apt list -a | grep alt-ruby
+     ```
+
+     </CodeWithCopy>
+
+   **Using alt-ruby versions:**
+   
+   `alt-ruby` versions are intended to be installed alongside the system's default ruby and allow multiple versions to coexist. To use a specific `alt-ruby` version, please run it directly from its installation directory, for example:
+
+   <CodeWithCopy>
+
+   ```text
+   source /opt/alt/alt-ruby27/enable
+   ruby -v 
+   ```
+
+   </CodeWithCopy>
+
+4. Update installed packages when updates are available:
+
+   <CodeWithCopy>
+
+   ```text
+   apt-get update
+   apt-get --only-upgrade install alt-ruby*
+   ```
+
+   </CodeWithCopy>
