rbenv

rbenv is Ruby version management and virtual environment.
We can install multiple Ruby version and switch easily.

Install

I tried in Ubuntu 15.10
To work with rbenv, we need to install rbenv and rubybuild

git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build

Check out current version in ~/.rbenv, and ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
We need some settings for them.
Add following description to ~/.bashrc

export PATH=$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$HOME/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/bin:$PATH
eval "$(rbenv init -)"

We can use rbenv command

Version check(rbenv version)

rbenv -v

Install Ruby

Before installation, check ruby version list we can install

rbenv install -l

Install version 2.3.0

rbenv install 2.3.0

It takes a lot of time to compile and install.
If failed, some dependencies are missing, please follow instructions.

Set Global environment

rbenv global 2.3.0

We can switch ruby version per directly.
If you want to use special version under the directory, use local

rbenv local 2.1.0     

Use 2.1.0 under this directory.

Check current

rbenv version
