# Installation

> Install the Privy Ruby server SDK (privy_ruby) for backend authentication, wallet management, and token verification

In a backend Ruby environment, you can use the [**`privy_ruby`**](https://github.com/privy-io/ruby-sdk) gem
to authorize requests and manage your application from your server.
This library includes helpful utilities around verifying access tokens issued by Privy and
interacting with Privy's API to query and create users, create wallets, send assets, and more.

Add the Privy Ruby SDK to your application's `Gemfile`:

```ruby Gemfile theme={"system"}
gem "privy_ruby", github: "privy-io/ruby-sdk", branch: "main"
```

Then install it via Bundler:

```bash theme={"system"}
bundle install
```

<Info>The Privy Ruby SDK requires Ruby 3.2.0 or later.</Info>
