Usage: rvm Action [Implementation] [Options] Action: * usage - Show this usage information use - Switch to using a specific ruby versio (new login shell) info - Show information for current ruby gemdir - Switch to gem directory for installation (new login shell) srcdir - Switch to src directory for the current ruby installation gemdup - Clone source implementation version gems to currently used version install - Install a ruby version, default is from source debug - Emit environment and configuration information for debugging Implementation: * ruby - MRI/YARV Ruby (The Standard), defaults to 1.8.6 jruby - jRuby ree - Ruby Enterprise Edition rubinius - Rubinius (NIY) default - Resets to the default system ruby all - Used with install, installs all latest known versions Options: -v|--version - Ruby Package Version, defaults to 'latest' -l|--level - Patch level for the specified Ruby version -p|--prefix - Package and source directory prefix, with trailing slash! Default is a users home directory and /usr/local/ for root -c|--configure - Options for source compile (default: --enable-shared) -d|--debug - Toggle debug mode on for extra messages (NIY) Notes: * Defaults above are denoted with a '*' prefix. * rvm is intended to be run as an individual user (not root, yet) * All ruby installation, configuration and source files are in ~/.rvm * To manually reset to defaults: "rm -f ~/.rvm/current", then open new shell * To preserve previous gem installations for a particular ruby version copy, move, symlink or copy the old gem directory to (1.8 for 1.8.X): ~/.gem/$interpreter/$version Examples: $ gem install rvm # Install the rvm gem $ rvm-install # Install rvm, adds source hooks to ~/.bash_profile $ rvm install jruby # Install jRuby, default 1.3.1 $ rvm use ruby -v 1.9.1 # Use Ruby 1.9, install first if not installed $ rvm use -v 1.9 # Equivalent to above, because of defaults $ rvm use default # Use the system default (as if no rvm) TODO: (in order) * Documentation * Change gemdup to simply allow for a path to base gem dir to clone from * rvm gemdir default * Debug level messages * Rubinius (not in first revisions) * Shell detection instead of simply assuming bash (not in first revisions)
