Background
I have been using RVM for installing and managing ruby. Recently, I have been hearing about chruby and how it would make my terminal run a bit fast because it is a little less invasive than RVM. I also like the simplicity of it all.
0. Before You Start
Remove current ruby version manager. If you have RVM like I did, then run:
rvm implode
1. Ruby-Install
Chruby dosen’t handle installing ruby but ruby-install does:
- install ruby-install
brew install ruby-install
- install any version of ruby
ruby-install ruby 2.1.2 # or whatever version you need
2. Setup chruby
- Install chruby
brew install chruby
- Config terminal by putting the below lines into your .profile or .bashrc file
source /usr/local/share/chruby/chruby.sh
source /usr/local/share/chruby/auto.sh
3. Set default version of ruby
echo "ruby-2.1.2" > ~/.ruby-version
