Are you talking about the API Server installation instructions here?: http://doc.arvados.org/install/install-api-server.html

It recommends building Ruby 2.1.7 from source. The current maintenance release is Ruby 2.1.10

The current Debian 8 packaged version is 2.1.5+deb8u2 https://packages.debian.org/jessie/ruby

What version do we want to document installing on Debian 8?

I don't think we can use the "system ruby" approach. There are some intervals when Debian ships with a version we can use, but they don't last very long. For example, right now we recommend installing with Ruby 2.3.3 and the latest omniauth gem needs at least 2.1.9, but Debian stable (8) still ships 2.1.5.
