Update Ruby With rbenv

Update Ruby With rbenv#

Update ruby-build#

If ruby-build is installed as an rbenv plugin:

cd "$(rbenv root)"/plugins/ruby-build
git pull

If installed with Homebrew:

brew update
brew upgrade ruby-build

Install a Ruby Version#

rbenv install --list
rbenv install 3.3.6
rbenv global 3.3.6
ruby -v

Use rbenv local <version> inside a project to write a .ruby-version file for that project.

Reinstall Project Gems#

Each Ruby version has its own gem environment:

gem install bundler
bundle install

Common Build Dependencies#

On Debian or Ubuntu, Ruby builds may need compiler and library headers:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev
