Rbenv: Alias a Ruby version
We use rbenv alias on every machine, so there is no need to have this card separately. Please check out https://makandracards.com/makandra/28149-installing-rbenv-on-ubuntu-18-04 if you encounter any issues.
For newer Ubuntu versions we currently need to install the patch level version 1.8.7-p375, otherwise the dev dependencies from openssl will cause the installation to fail.
For a project that specifies the Ruby version 1.8.7 in the .ruby-version the rbenv autoswitch will not work. You have several options how you can solve this problem:
- Install
rbenv-aliases
Show archive.org snapshot
, which will alias your Ruby 1.8.7-p375 to 1.8.7 with
rbenv alias 1.8.7 1.8.7-p375(recommended) - Use
rbenv shell 1.8.7-p375, but don't forget to sayrbenv shell --unsetafter you're finished with the project - Change the Ruby version in the
.ruby-versionto1.8.7-p375
