RVM

RVM w00t RUBY!!!

I’ve been really enjoying using RVM to manage my ruby installs.. even on boxes with just one ruby. Gathering some notes here for it.

I was having an issue with ubuntu 10.04 not getting any openssl love. IRC hint from Sutto was:

00:33 < Sutto> bish0p: rvm package install openssl; rvm remove 1.8.7; rvm install 1.8.7 -C —with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

For a system wide install you can use the following install technique



$ bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )

$   vi /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

[[ -s ‘/usr/local/lib/rvm’ ]] && source ‘/usr/local/lib/rvm’

This will let a user have rvm from the system unless they’ve got a ~/.rvm (their own).
