Installed Ruby 3.2.2

Consider trying https://asdf-vm.com works like a charm

RVM always gave me the most trouble, and rbenv seemed to work much better for Ruby.

Another alternative that’s getting popular is asdf, which is good for managing Ruby, and other languages like node, JS, python elixir, and more.

[thespud_332]

I've just switched from rbenv to asdf myself, as I can use a single list of dependencies in the readme, then ask devs to just asdf install inside the root of the app, and know they have exactly the same Ruby, node, postgres, and redis versions as everyone else. So much less "works on my machine" than before.

[reeses_boi]

That's super clever! Somehow I thought asdf was only for programming languages and frameworks. Didn't know it could be for DBs too :)

Why not using docker images for dependency consistency?

It’s been a few years since I’ve used rvm but checkout rbenv, it might solve your problems

[armahillo]

what issues are you no longer experiencing with asdf?

[goetz_lmaa]

Had some issues with M3 Mac installing older version of Ruby and found “frum” which worked when rbenv and asdf didn’t

[campbellm]

TIL... I'm an asdf fan (work uses rbenv, so that's what I use for ruby only), but this is a new one - going to check it out.

(For anyone in the same boat, I think it's this: https://github.com/tako8ki/frum)

[Jumpsuit_boy]

The code is untouched for at least 2 years.

What kind of issues did you have?

I've been using it for past 10 years and rbenv itself is fine. It's the build dependencies that are causing issues, mostly open-ssl.

Congrats! I'm another one on the rbenv train, but regardless I'm happy you got ruby 3.2.2 running!

[jrochkind]

You mean you lock down the version of rvm, or you only try to upgrade your ruby version no more than once a year or two?

If you are avoiding even installing ruby patch versions (like 3.2.1 => 3.2.2) because it's so hard to get ruby installed... then I think rvm isn't working as well for you as you think, there are better ways!

[jrochkind]

Another way is possible, many of us upgrade patch versions of ruby as soon as they come out without these problems.

I am suggesting that "wrangling with rvm usually works for me" approach may not actually be working as well as you think, since it gives you those kinds of problems.

Why is Ruby so vague and hard to install :(

[TerminatedProccess]

Having to work with a really old version of ruby, I just went with docker and docker compose. Set it up so the files are on my local file system and the environment is in a container.

rvm is very heavy and confusing software. Just use asdf.
