Fixing Ruby Command Not Found After Installing Ruby2.3

Hey, let's work through this Ruby issue step by step. I've run into similar problems on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems before, so here's what you can try:

First, confirm where Ruby 2.3 is actually installed
The apt package manager might have installed Ruby 2.3 to a version-specific path instead of creating a generic ruby alias. Run this command to list all files from the ruby2.3 package:
```
dpkg -L ruby2.3
```
Look for a line like /usr/bin/ruby2.3 — that's the actual executable file.
Create a symbolic link to make the ruby command work
If you found /usr/bin/ruby2.3, create a soft link from this file to /usr/bin/ruby (which is in your system's default PATH):
```
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby2.3 /usr/bin/ruby
```
Do the same for the gem command if you need it:
```
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem2.3 /usr/bin/gem
```
Verify the fix
Run these commands to check if everything works as expected:
```
ruby --version
gem --version
```
You should see Ruby 2.3's version number pop up now.
If the above doesn't work, try reinstalling the packages
Sometimes the installation might have missed creating necessary links. Reinstall both the version-specific package and the generic ruby meta-package:
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ruby2.3 ruby
```
The ruby meta-package is supposed to point to the default Ruby version on your system, so this might automatically set up the correct links for you.
Double-check your PATH (just in case)
Even though which ruby returned nothing, confirm that /usr/bin is in your PATH:
```
echo $PATH
```
If /usr/bin isn't listed, you can add it temporarily with export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin, or permanently by adding that line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile file.
