Public bug reported: >From https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build:
Installing ruby-build as an rbenv plugin will give you access to the rbenv install command. Installing ruby-build as a standalone program will give you access to the ruby-build command for precise control over Ruby version installation. If you have rbenv installed, you will also be able to use the rbenv install command. ------------------------- Interestingly enough, installing ruby-build as a plugin in a user's ~/.rbenv gives them access to more rubies (instead of messing with /usr/share/ruby-build), but the command is still not available in rbenv's help. It seems like it would be ideal for new users to see the `install` and `uninstall` plugin options. ------------------------ Suggestions: - get command completion in before LTS hits - that's reason enough to install from git for me ------------------------ Notes: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10 death@badwolf:/usr/share/ruby-build$ apt-cache policy rbenv rbenv: Installed: 0.3.0-1 Candidate: 0.3.0-1 Version table: *** 0.3.0-1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status death@badwolf:/usr/share/ruby-build$ apt-cache policy ruby-build ruby-build: Installed: 20120524-1 Candidate: 20120524-1 Version table: *** 20120524-1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status death@badwolf:/usr/share/ruby-build$ rbenv install usage: rbenv install VERSION rbenv install /path/to/definition Available versions: 1.8.6-p383 1.8.6-p420 1.8.7-p249 1.8.7-p302 1.8.7-p334 1.8.7-p352 1.8.7-p357 1.8.7-p358 1.9.1-p378 1.9.2-p180 1.9.2-p290 1.9.2-p318 1.9.2-p320 1.9.3-dev 1.9.3-p0 1.9.3-p125 1.9.3-p194 1.9.3-p448 1.9.3-preview1 1.9.3-rc1 2.0.0-dev jruby-1.6.3 jruby-1.6.4 jruby-1.6.5 jruby-1.6.5.1 jruby-1.6.6 jruby-1.6.7 jruby-1.6.7.2 jruby-1.7.0-preview1 maglev-1.0.0 rbx-1.2.4 rbx-2.0.0-dev ree-1.8.6-2009.06 ree-1.8.7-2009.09 ree-1.8.7-2009.10 ree-1.8.7-2010.01 ree-1.8.7-2010.02 ree-1.8.7-2011.03 ree-1.8.7-2011.12 ree-1.8.7-2012.01 ree-1.8.7-2012.02 death@badwolf:/usr/share/ruby-build$ rbenv rbenv 0.3.0 usage: rbenv <command> [<args>] Some useful rbenv commands are: commands List all rbenv commands rehash Rehash rbenv shims (run this after installing binaries) global Set or show the global Ruby version local Set or show the local directory-specific Ruby version shell Set or show the shell-specific Ruby version version Show the current Ruby version versions List all Ruby versions known by rbenv which Show the full path for the given Ruby command whence List all Ruby versions with the given command See 'rbenv help <command>' for information on a specific command.
