# Ruby SDK (/sdks/ruby)



The KubeMQ Ruby SDK provides a thread-safe gRPC client for all messaging patterns. It requires Ruby 3.1 or later and is compatible with KubeMQ server v2.2+.

## Installation [#installation]

```bash
gem install kubemq
```

Or add to your `Gemfile`:

```ruby title="Gemfile"
gem 'kubemq'
```

## Next: send your first message [#next-send-your-first-message]

With the SDK installed, continue to the [first-message tutorial](/sdks/ruby/tutorials/first-message) to connect a client and publish and receive your first message.
