rbenv-installer

Install rbenv/rbenv + rbenv-build/ruby-build (and other plugins), updating all of them when you want to!

Installation

It's the standard way: installs rbenv in $HOME/.rbenv (default $RBENV_ROOT value).

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/madumlao/rbenv-installer/master/bin/rbenv-installer \
    | bash

The script will then instruct you to edit your shell initialization files.

Optional: Installation in other directory (i.e. system-wide)

If you prefer to install rbenv in other directory (i.e $HOME/myrbenv), or perhaps system-wide (i.e. /usr/local/bin/rbenv), it's easy: just set $RBENV_ROOT before the installer command:

# $HOME/myrbenv
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/madumlao/rbenv-installer/master/bin/rbenv-installer \
    | RBENV_ROOT=$HOME/myrbenv bash

# /usr/local/bin/rbenv
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/madumlao/rbenv-installer/master/bin/rbenv-installer \
    | RBENV_ROOT=/usr/local/bin/rbenv bash

Note: depends on the path, you will need superuser (sudo) permission. Feel free to ask if you need some help!

Plugins installed by default:

rbenv/ruby-build: allows rbenv install
rbenv/rbenv-vars: allows per-project .rbenv-vars files
tpope/rbenv-aliases: provides aliases for ruby versions
madumlao/rbenv-binstubs: allows per-project binstubs

Uninstallation

rm -rf $(rbenv root)

Inspired by phpenv-installer which was ironically inspired by a defunct version of rbenv-installer and pyenv-installer
