33,155 PointsCan't upgrade Ruby to 2.1.2
I'm trying to get the latest Ruby version on OSX. Using rbenv I've done the following:
rbenv install 2.1.2 rbenv global 2.1.2 And then rbenv rehash and open a new terminal...
I'm still stuck on the old version when I hit ruby -v!
ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24 revision 45167) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]
Why is this? I've been messing about loads with Ruby, I installed RVN a while back but had little to no idea what I was doing. I use a lot of Ruby gems for Sass, Compass, Bourbon etc. I've also got node installed and Homebrew. So I think something is messing it up.
I always have to Sudo when updating gems or changing Ruby and I heard this wasn't supposed to be the norm.
:( I just want to play with Ruby...

Needed to fully remove RVM with
sudo rm -rf ~/.rvm
and then check my .bash_profile and .zshrc settings and remove any references to RVM in my $PATH
Now when I ruby -v I'm all up to date!
