I just switched from bash to zsh, installing its latest version with oh-my-zsh.
Disclosure: I'm a newbie so maybe some stuff are pretty obvious for more experimented developers.
According to what I've read so far, I know I should redirect $PATHbut don't know exactly what to do, as I don't really see any clear timeline and explanation about what to do (I've been through the zsh documentation, but things didn't really become clearer). I'm running a Mac on El Capitan 10.11.6. and I'm specifically having troubles installing the right ruby and rails versions.
As an example, I've installed ruby 2.3, I've executed ~rbenv global 2.3.1 but still ruby -v gives me back 2.0.0.
Can anyone please help me to do all the set up ?
Thanks :)
Run rbenv init - it will give you instructions for hooking rbenv into your shell.
MaxBook% rbenv init
# Load rbenv automatically by appending
# the following to ~/.zshrc:
eval "$(rbenv init -)"

I have a rails application that I have been working on for a few days after I successfully installed rails.
I closed my terminal window to open up a new window and unfortunately when I try to restart the local rails server, it says rails is no longer able to be found.
Even after I run
rbenv install 3.1.2
the ruby version does not reflect the latest.
Installing ruby-3.1.2...ruby-build: using readline from homebrewInstalled ruby-3.1.2 to /Users/sharatakasapu/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2
Sharats-MBP:~ sharatakasapu$ ruby -vruby 2.6.8p205 (2021-07-07 revision 67951) [universal.x86_64-darwin21]Sharats-MBP:~ sharatakasapu$
When I try to install rails
gem install rails -v 7.0.2.4
I get this error
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError) You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0 directory.
This doesn't exactly seem like a ruby question so much as a macOS question. You used rbenv to upgrade your ruby which is fine, but macOs currently comes with ruby 2.6 pre-installed. Your system probably has it installed for a reason so don't remove it.
Try running which ruby in your shell to confirm your shell is picking up /usr/bin/ruby which is the built in version. To pick up a different version of ruby you'll need to modify your system path so that the location of the ruby version you want to pick up gets scanned before the version you don't want.
You will first need to find where rbenv installed the ruby version you are looking for on your machine. The output you sent says rbenv to ~/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2. You can modify the path variable of a single shell session with PATH=$HOME/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2:$PATH but this is imperfect because if you close the shell and reopen it your path will have its prior value. I've certainly made that mistake before.
Persistently changing your path depends on your shell version but the default shell on macOS is zsh which can be configured by appending export PATH=$HOME/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2:$PATH" to your .zshenv you may have to research your specific shell. You'll know you did it right when which ruby brings up the location of the new ruby and ruby --version returns the expected version. Cheers.
echo 'if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
You are using the ruby version of your system, not the rbenv one. Follow the next steps to switch to rbenv.
Step 1 Add the following lines to your .zshrc file if they are not exist
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init - zsh)"
Step 2
rbenv install 3.1.2
rbenv global 3.1.2
Step 3
gem install rails -v 7.0.2.4
I am doing the Ruby on Rails 4 essential training with Kevin Skoglund. I installed Xcode and Homebrew no problems, was following along just fine when I went to do the command rbenv global 2.3.0 to change to the newest version, it won't do it. I was instructed to logout and back in, i shut down and restarted and I am still in version 2.0. How do I get it to change? I am a super noob, but I am brave. I would love to figure this out so i can get started.Also, i went to update my gems and this happened,
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory.
So I was stopped dead in my tracks, any help will be much appreciated
It's probably the case you missed a step on the rbenv installation. Unless the stub is installed in your .bash_profile (or equivalent), then rbenv won't engage on your shells properly.
Try repeating step two on the Basic GitHub Checkout step:
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
Then check that it's installed correctly:
type rbenv
Which should be a function.
What you're describing is probably a $PATH issue where the system Ruby is taking priority. The rbenv one needs to come first.
I installed ruby as per instructions given here but when I do ruby--version then it still shows 1.8.7. How do I make sure I use newly installed Ruby?
I would suggest you to use RVM (Ruby Version Manager). You may find a full installation guide here:
http://ryanbigg.com/2011/06/mac-os-x-ruby-rvm-rails-and-you/
If you get an error such as "ERROR: Error running ' ./configure...." after executing rvm install e.g.
rvm install 1.9.3
Then you may try to install it like this:
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang
Note: in the guide this possible error is not described
Did you properly setup your PATH? What's the output of echo $PATH? /usr/local/bin has to come first they way this tutorial sets up things. You see that everything worked right when which ruby displays /usr/local/bin/ruby.
Personally I'd recommend using a tool for managing Ruby versions though. RVM still seems to be the most popular choice, I prefer the combination of rbenv and ruby-build.
I'm having big trouble in configuring Ruby and MySQL on MacOSX. Just a fact, I'm new on MacOSX and Ruby On Rails.
So, first I was having problems to install mysql2 gem, after get the gem installed I was trying developer a test, and when I tried start the WEBrick got this error saying that couldn't load a MySQL lib called "libmysqlclient.18.dylib". Googlin' about the error I saw that everyone was recommending using Ruby through RVM. I installed RVM and tried install ruby 1.9.3 and get this error:
ERROR: The provided CC(/usr/bin/gcc) is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read rvm requirements.
I'm almost giving up learn Rails, setup a development environment shouldn't be that painful. On Windows I got no problems.
Unfortunately, you're trying Rails at a bit of a bad time. There's a lot of transition at the moment, as others have mentioned Xcode 4.2 was recently released and has a new compiler, also Ruby 1.9.3 came out.
I've been developing Ruby and Rails for some years now, but trying to get up and running again after installing Lion clean this week has been more problematic than in the past.
First, make sure RVM is up to date (as the issue should be fixed):
rvm get head
Then try installing like so:
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3 --enable-shared
EDIT:
Note, working through my own issues I believe the first command probably fixed the problem. The second wouldn't have provided any benefit over:
rvm install 1.9.3
As on my clean install, /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 doesn't exist.
Also I wanted to add that I ended up compiling the older GCC manually for those situations where the new compiler fails. I followed this very informative blog post.
add --with-gcc=clang as a parameter:
rvm install ruby-1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang
Did you install the latest Xcode from Mac Store?
here is a nice guide i followed to update my ruby/Rails to 1.9.2/3.0
guide
good luck
Part of the problem is that with Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), Apple switched C compilers, and some things don't build well with the new (LLVM) compiler yet. See http://eddorre.com/posts/rails-ultimate-install-guide-on-os-x-lion-using-rvm-homebrew-and-pow for decent instructions (note: I haven't followed these exact instructions, but they're a pretty good summary of the things I did do to get Rails working on Lion).
Once you have the C compiler issue dealt with, everything else should be pretty effortless.
Bonus tip: avoid MySQL. PostgreSQL is better in nearly every respect.
Thanks Delamenko finally got it to work
SUMMARY FOR STACK OVERFLOW
I was trying to install SiriProxy on a clean Lion installation on Xcode from App Store
I kept getting errors like :
The provided CC(/usr/bin/gcc) is LLVM based.
bash-3.2$ rvm install 1.9.3
ERROR: The provided CC(/usr/bin/gcc) is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read `rvm requirements`.
After 2 days finally got it working with these two lines
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8000145/ruby-rvm-llvm-and-mysql
bash-3.2$ rvm get head
bash-3.2$ CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3 --enable-shared
Before that I had tried every stackoverflow article on Ruby and Lion so doing these may have done some setup that helped the above 2 steps work:
Things I tried included:
Running Install Xcode.app (I had downloaded from App Store - running this does futher installation)
Installing
https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer/downloads may help for installing GCC.
Set up CC in
more /Users//.bash_profile
bash-3.2$ more /Users/<USERNAME>/.bash_profile
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function
export CC=/usr/share/TargetConfigs/bin/gcc
First line came from SiriProxy install instruction
https://github.com/plamoni/SiriProxy
2nd line export CC never seemed to work. So dont add.
It had many versions each pointing
I finally used CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3 --enable-shared
See Arkku's answer - I tried everything here first, then did what he said and all is well.
As of Lion 10.7.3, Xcode 4.2 and Ruby 1.9.3p0 it's what works.
I have both ruby and rails installed in:
/usr/local/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby
This is causing problems when I try to run certains commands like ruby script/console
How do I remove some of these installations of both ruby and rails?
RVM will help you for sure. Check out RVM here
Preventing this kind of situations is the very role of RVM and it's gemsets.
I encourage you to check it out.
There are a few options. First one would be to get your ruby system install in good order. There is no harm in renaming removing those multiple ruby file in your diverse bin folders. Get the stable release of 1.9.2 and gem install whatever you need then. Googling around to fill the gaps you may have here
Quick and dirty you can do:
Get the latest stable release of ruby 1.9.2, compile it on your system, I suppose the ruby that is under /usr/bin is the system's and you are using macosx. The one located in /usr/local/bin is probably something you installed yourself and even maybe you don't even need to reinstall ruby 1.9.2. If that's so get you .bashrc in proper order by making sure /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin and you won't have to worry so much about which version you might be using. Create a ~/.bash_profile and put this in.
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
Expected output (more or less):
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/texbin
Others mentioned RVM. I used it, but I don't use it on a production server, I prefer a single sane ruby install to RVM. There is also rbenv and is seems much saner.
Final thought play around in your system remove symlink stuff, set your PATH variable or use RVM/rbenv.
