# Ruby on Rails

> Interact with the rails console or execute ad-hoc scripts in a Ruby On Rails application.

## Prerequisites

To get the most out of this guide, you will need to:

* Either [create an account in our managed instance](https://use.hoop.dev) or [deploy your own hoop.dev instance](/getting-started/installation/overview)
* You must be your account administrator to perform the following commands

## Configuration

To proxy the `rails console` command, execute the following command within your root application path.

```bash
hoop run --name railsc-demo --command 'rails console'
```

To proxy ad-hoc executions add the command `rails runner -` .

```bash
hoop run --name rails-adhoc-demo --command 'rails runner -'
```

## How to Use

Users can now connect and perform ad-hoc executions.

```bash
hoop connect railsc-demo
```

```bash
hoop exec rails-adhoc-demo -i 'puts "Hello World"'
```
