Update README instructions for Linux install #950

Hey! After struggling to install ruby (again), I figured I should document all the issues I've run into installing ruby and add it to our README. Having done this on two fresh builds of Linux, I ran into two issues with the directions constantly.

  1. sudo apt-get ruby-dev should be sudo apt-get install ruby-dev. It's just missing the install command.

  2. Both times, nokogiri caused me issues b/c I hadn't installed zlib. I'm not sure if this is an issue juts b/c I'm on very new builds of linux, but it might be worth noting that if you get an error related to nokogiri, the solution may be that you need to run sudo apt-get install libz-dev before the install will work.

Just some thoughts I had while installing ruby again! @lwasser
