Ruby Setup
Language
Mac OSX
Note: depending on how the permissions are set up on your machine you may need to prefix a command with sudo or perhaps you may have to omit sudo.
Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Install Ruby
brew install ruby
Add Ruby To Path
if Mac OSX 10.15 Catalina or greater
~/.zshrc
else
~/.bash_profile
Add this line:
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"
check ruby
You can either
1) restart your terminal
or
2) source the appropriate configuration file based on your shell (which is often dependent on the OSX version)
source .zshrc
or
source .bash_profile
Then run
ruby --version
which should report version 2.7.2 as of Fall 2020.
