Creating Project Remotely
Introduction
If you don't have a Ruby interpreter on your local development machine, you can create a project remotely. Using RubyMine, create a new project, setting it up for running and debugging on a remote machine.

To configure a remote interpreter, follow these general steps:
- On the main menu, choose , or on the Welcome screen, click the drop-down and choose .

- In the Configure Remote Ruby Interpreter dialog box, select the desired option (Deployment configuration, SSH Credentials etc.).
Creating a project with the remote interpreter
