# Simple Ruby Version Management: rbenv
<img src="http://cloud.github.com/downloads/sstephenson/rbenv/rbenv.png" width="894" height="464">
rbenv lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Ruby. It's
simple, unobtrusive, and follows the UNIX tradition of single-purpose
tools that do one thing well.
### rbenv _does…_
* Let you **change the default Ruby version** on a per-user basis.
* Provide support for **per-project Ruby versions**.
* Allow you to **override the Ruby version** with an environment
variable.
### In contrast with rvm, rbenv _does not…_
* **Need to be loaded into your shell.** Instead, rbenv's shim
approach works by adding a directory to your `$PATH`.
* **Override shell commands like `cd`.** That's just obnoxious!
* **Have a configuration file.** There's nothing to configure except
which version of Ruby you want to use.
* **Install Ruby.** You can build and install Ruby yourself, or use
[ruby-build](https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git) to
automate the process.
* **Manage gemsets.** [Bundler](http://gembundler.com/) is a better
way to manage application dependencies. If you have projects that
are not yet using Bundler you can install the
[rbenv-gemset](https://github.com/jamis/rbenv-gemset) plugin.
* **Require changes to Ruby libraries for compatibility.** The
simplicity of rbenv means as long as it's in your `$PATH`,
[nothing](https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/integration/bundler/)
[else](https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/integration/capistrano/)
needs to know about it.
* **Prompt you with warnings when you switch to a project.** Instead
of executing arbitrary code, rbenv reads just the version name
from each project. There's nothing to "trust."
## How It Works ##
rbenv operates on the per-user directory `~/.rbenv`. Version names in
rbenv correspond to subdirectories of `~/.rbenv/versions`. For
example, you might have `~/.rbenv/versions/1.8.7-p354` and
`~/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-preview1`.
Each version is a working tree with its own binaries, like
`~/.rbenv/versions/1.8.7-p354/bin/ruby` and
`~/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-preview1/irb`. rbenv makes _shim binaries_
for every such binary across all installed versions of Ruby.
These shims are simple wrapper scripts that live in `~/.rbenv/shims`
and detect which Ruby version you want to use. They insert the
directory for the selected version at the beginning of your `$PATH`
and then execute the corresponding binary.
Because of the simplicity of the shim approach, all you need to use
rbenv is `~/.rbenv/shims` in your `$PATH`.
## Installation ##
rbenv is a young project, so for now you must install it from source.
**Compatibility note**: rbenv is _incompatible_ with rvm. Things will
appear to work until you try to install a gem. The problem is that
rvm actually overrides the `gem` command with a shell function!
Please remove any references to rvm before using rbenv.
1. Check out rbenv into `~/.rbenv`.
$ cd
$ git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git .rbenv
2. Add `~/.rbenv/bin` to your `$PATH` for access to the `rbenv`
command-line utility.
$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> .bash_profile
3. Add rbenv's shims directory to your `$PATH` and set up Bash
autocompletion. (If you prefer not to load rbenv in your shell, you
can manually add `$HOME/.rbenv/shims` to your path in step 2.)
$ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> .bash_profile
4. Restart your shell. You can now begin using rbenv.
$ exec
5. Install Ruby versions into `~/.rbenv/versions`. For example, to
install Ruby 1.9.2-p290, download and unpack the source, then run:
$ ./configure --prefix=~/.rbenv/versions/1.9.2-p290
$ make
$ make install
The [ruby-build](https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build)
project simplifies this process to a single command:
$ ruby-build 1.9.2-p290 ~/.rbenv/versions/1.9.2-p290
6. Rebuild the shim binaries. You should do this any time you install
a new Ruby binary (for example, when installing a new Ruby version, or
when installing a gem that provides a binary).
$ rbenv rehash
## Usage ##
Like `git`, the `rbenv` command delegates to subcommands based on its
first argument. The most common subcommands are:
### set-default ###
Sets the default version of Ruby to be used in all shells by writing
the version name to the `~/.rbenv/default` file. This version can be
overridden by a per-project `.rbenv-version` file, or by setting the
`RBENV_VERSION` environment variable.
$ rbenv set-default 1.9.2-p290
The special version name `system` tells rbenv to use the system Ruby
(detected by searching your `$PATH`).
### set-local ###
Sets a local per-project Ruby version by writing the version name to
an `.rbenv-version` file in the current directory. This version
overrides the default, and can be overridden itself by setting the
`RBENV_VERSION` environment variable.
$ rbenv set-local rbx-1.2.4
### versions ###
Lists all Ruby versions known to rbenv, and shows an asterisk next to
the currently active version.
$ rbenv versions
1.8.7-p352
1.9.2-p290
* 1.9.3-preview1 (set by /Users/sam/.rbenv/default)
jruby-1.6.3
rbx-1.2.4
ree-1.8.7-2011.03
### version ###
Displays the currently active Ruby version, along with information on
how it was set.
$ rbenv version
1.8.7-p352 (set by /Volumes/37signals/basecamp/.rbenv-version)
### rehash ###
Installs shims for all Ruby binaries known to rbenv (i.e.,
`~/.rbenv/versions/*/bin/*`). Run this command after you install a new
version of Ruby, or install a gem that provides binaries.
$ rbenv rehash
