Thus, you can do the following: 1) install the gem sudo /usr/bin/gem install rvm 2) configure the gem for use rvm-install 3) update your .profile by adding the following to the bottom of it if [[ -s /Users/<USER_NAME>/.rvm/scripts/rvm ]] ; then source /Users/<USER_NAME>/.rvm/scripts/rvm ; fi 4) open a new shell 5) install the Ruby implementation rvm install 1.8.6 Note: The above installs the latest revision of Ruby 1.8.6 and the current patch level is p368 as far as I know. 6) set the default Ruby implementation a) using the system version as the default rvm system --default b) using Ruby 1.8.6 as the default rvm 1.8.6 --default 6) switching between Ruby implementations a) switching to Ruby 1.8.6 rvm use 1.8.6 b) switching to the system installed version rvm use system If you require any additional information, I would recommend using the following URL: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com Also, you can join the Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyversionmanager Good luck, -Conrad > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<rubyonrails-talk%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
