Your best options is to just 'read and do'. First you will need to learn the ins and outs of Ruby:
Ruby Website (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/). Check the links on the right for tutorials and guides.

Next you will need to understand the RoR API: RoR Documentation (http://www.rubyonrails.org/docs)

Jumping into website development straight away may put you off, I would suggest you write some small programs first of all to make sure you understand the language.

Just install ruby, right now you won't need any enchantments that ruby1.9 brings. Just install marked with ubuntu sign.
Then do what is told on previous post.

If you want to learn how to do that, advice above is as good as free advice gets. If you are not interested in learning, you need to hire someome.

Ask for more help when you have specific problems.
