I've used Ruby, as it's very easy to use and get started with. I assume you're using Windows (if not, great! But I'll assume you then know what to do). Just install Ruby 1.9.2 (link below), then download the source code from github (https://github.com/lrm29/rubyMathsPrograms) or via the .zip download link below.
To start with the ODE solvers, just double click on ode_solver_executable.rb and everything should work fine. The .rb files need to be associated to ruby.exe in your Ruby/bin installation.
