Install Ruby With Rvm
17 Jul 2014I explained today how you install ruby with rvm for a friend.
I thought it would be nice if I summarize this a bit.
First of all you want a ruby version manager there is rbenv or rvm and many more. But why you want this? Simply because you never know if you want to test something in an older version or with jruby. I assume that you are running a Linux with bash as your shell.
##Enough blabla
Install rvm
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash
Load rvm
source .bash_profile
Enable autolib
rvm autolib enable
Install the lastest MRI Ruby
rvm install ruby
##Why
Why rvm and not rbev or X is much better than rvm, sure go ahead and use whatever you like (I don't care). And what does autolib? Autolib is a new feature of rvm which install the right native libraries for your system.
