rvm.pl
This is an unstable development release not ready for production!
Version 0.004004
rvm.pl will provide a subset of the bash rvm.
It is recommended to use Ruby::VersionManager with local::lib to avoid interference with possibly installed system ruby. Ruby::VersionManager comes with a script rvm.pl with following options.
Show the version of Ruby::VersionManager.
rvm.pl version
List available ruby versions.
rvm.pl list
Update database of available ruby versions.
rvm.pl updatedb
Install a ruby version. If no version is given the latest stable release will be installed. The program tries to guess the correct version from the provided string. It should at least match the major release. If you need to install a preview or rc version you will have to provide the full exact version.
Latest ruby
rvm.pl install
Latest ruby-1.8
rvm.pl install 1.8
Install preview
rvm.pl install ruby-1.9.3-preview1
To use the Ruby::VersionManager source ruby_vmanager.rc.
source ~/.ruby_vmanager/var/ruby_vmanager.rc
After installation a subshell will be launched with the new settings.
Remove a ruby version and the source dir including the downloaded archive. You have to provide the full exact version of the ruby you want to remove as shown with list.
rvm.pl uninstall ruby-1.9.3-preview1
If you uninstall your currently active ruby version you have to install/activate another version manually.
Pass arguments to the gem command.
rvm.pl gem install unicorn # installs unicorn
Additionally you can use reinstall to reinstall your complete gemset. With a file containing the output of 'gem list' you can reproduce gemsets.
rvm.pl gem reinstall gem_list.txt # installs all gems in the list exactly as given rvm.pl gem reinstall # reinstalls all installed gems
Switch to another set of gems and launch a subshell with the new settings.
rvm.pl gemset my_set
List gemsets of the currently used rubyversion.
rvm.pl gemsets
The current set is marked with an asterisk.
Currently Ruby::VersionManager is only running on Linux.
