Answer 1

Ruby does not have packed executable files. A ruby app consists of many *.rb files that are compiled by the ruby vm/interpreter at runtime. The easiest deployment is to just copy the project as is to the server. There are however some deployment gems, that make your life easier. Take a look at capistrano or vlad. Here is a simple tutorial for capistrano: http://guides.beanstalkapp.com/deployments/deploy-with-capistrano.html
