The RVM installer modifies the $PATH variable and installs itself into the ~/.rvm directory (we can see what’s inside with ls -lah ~/.rvm). Rvm use # switch to specified ruby interpreter

Rvm list known # list available interpreters Rvm 1.29.4 (latest) by Michal Papis, Piotr Kuczynski, Wayne E. Then, we can run RVM to see its version: $ rvm -v It recommends running source /Users/ro/.rvm/scripts/rvm (our path is probably different) if we want to use RVM immediately, without restarting a terminal. In all your open shell windows, in rare cases, you need to reopen all shell windows. To start using RVM you need to run source /Users/ro/.rvm/scripts/rvm.Installation of RVM in /Users/ro/.rvm/ is almost complete: Users/ro/.bash_profile /Users/ro/.zlogin. The installation log says the following: Installing RVM to /Users/ro/.rvm/Īdding rvm PATH line … /Users/ro/.bashrc /Users/ro/.zshrc.Īdding rvm loading line to. “RVM is a command-line tool that allows you to easily install, manage, and work with multiple Ruby environments from interpreters to sets of gems.” Instructions for RVM installation are available at the RVM website, and a summary explains what it is: For example, there is the Node Version Manager (NVM) for Node.js. Similar concepts with slightly different variations exist for other languages, as well. This is how the Ruby Version Manager (RVM) was born. As we can imagine, this problem already existed a long time ago, when developers realized they needed multiple Ruby versions and some way to switch between them. If we continue to experiment, we’ll find a way to keep multiple Ruby versions on our filesystem, and all of them will work seamlessly. Ruby 2.6.1p33 ( revision 66950) įrom now on, the default / global ruby version will be ruby 2.6.1p33.It is possible for us to keep multiple versions of Ruby on the same computer. Now you have to rehash rbenv in order to install shims for all Ruby executables known to rbenv. You have now successfully installed the latest ruby version, setup that version to be the global ruby version of the system, by: Installed ruby-2.6.1 to /home/dev/.rbenv/versions/2.6.1 List the available versions and grep for 2.6.1 by: The git pull output, should be similar to the following:Ĭreate mode 100644 share/ruby-build/2.6.1Ĭreate mode 100644 share/ruby-build/2.7.0-dev $ cd ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/ & git pull You need to get the Ruby 2.6.1 locally, to achieve this, type: Therefore, grep the listing with a specific version: With only the list command is hard for you to see if you have the specific version of Ruby you are looking for. The list is pretty long, I have omitted many versions for brevity using. To list all the available versions for installation you have locally, type: * 2.6.0 (set by /home/dev/.rbenv/version) In order to list all the already installed ruby versions, type: At this point in time, the latest stable release of Ruby is 2.6.1

Navigate to ruby downloads and find out the latest stable release that is available for installation. This minipost will demonstrate step-by-step how to configure your rbenv with the latest stable release of Ruby. Therefore, you need to update by git pulling the latest stable release. When you install rbenv with git to your machine, it does not update automatically all the new available ruby versions.
