Installing rbenv on Mac OS X

Raw

Basic GitHub Checkout

This will get you going with the latest version of rbenv and make it easy to fork and contribute any changes back upstream.

Check out rbenv into ~/.rbenv.

 $ cd
 $ git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git .rbenv

Add ~/.rbenv/bin to your $PATH for access to the rbenv command-line utility.
```
 $ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
```
Add rbenv init to your shell to enable shims and autocompletion.
```
 $ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
```
Restart your shell so the path changes take effect. You can now begin using rbenv.
```
 $ source ~/.bash_profile
```

Install ruby-build locally as a rbenv plugin:

 $ mkdir -p ~/.rbenv/plugins
 $ cd ~/.rbenv/plugins
 $ git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git
 $ cd ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
 $ sudo ./install.sh

Install any ruby version with the built in rbenv-install command:
```
 $ rbenv install 1.9.2-p290
```
