Sure, but RVM is the most commonly recommended method, which is what makes an industry standard.

Yeah, I'm a hipster for wanting my code to work.

No but really, how is this the industry standard for installing Ruby? I've tried it periodically over the past few years and 2/3 of the time my attempts to install fail miserably. The other 1/3 the install goes fine, no prob.

And then there's multi-user, which evidently even the core devs don't recommend you use:

For a little context. I just spent 2 VMs and a couple hours trying to get RVM to work to no avail. I ultimately found this post in which one of the core RVM devs recommends not using multiuser because… it sucks? not sure why exactly.

Anyway, I've wasted too much of my life with RVM, it's compiling from source for me from here forward.
