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 7) switching between Ruby implementations a) switching to Ruby 1.8.6 version 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.
