The last bit of what you said I don't understand:

install that

My apologies. I should remember to use standard English.
The biggest improvement to the code I just demonstrated is: Do something
else.
I showed that code so I could answer your question directly, and because
I think it demonstrates some useful techniques.
However, there is a better way to solve the problem.
If you make a debian package, then you only need to install the package.
class my_ruby {
package { "my_ruby":
ensure => installed,
}
}
All the dependencies and environment setup would be done
by the package's install scripts. Also, you would not leave
the download directory and all the other useless files on the server.
If you wanted to remove or upgrade the package all the details
would be handled by the package system.
It takes time to learn to make packages, so you can use the code
I showed you as a temporary solution. But, for the future, you
should learn to make packages.
