# Simple Ruby Version Management: rbenv
|
||||
|
||||
rbenv lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Ruby. It's simple, unobtrusive, understandable, and follows in 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.

|

* **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`.

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.

|
||||
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.

$ cd

$ git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git .rbenv
