Post for anyone wanting to play with multiple versions of Rails

This week, I decided I wanted to play around with Rails 3.2 and 4. I wrote the post below so I could look back and remember exactly what I did. Another treehouse student was also interested so I thought I'd post this in case there were even more people interested. If you have Rails 4, and want to use 3.2 (so you can do the Treehouse tutorials for instance) just install Rails 3.2 in the directory with your .rvmc file instead.

So, in my post instead of 

 $ gem install rails

do 

 $ gem install rails --version=3.2.13

If anyone has questions, I'll try to help as best I can.

Good write-up. It seems your site has gone down though.

I also found this very helpful in learning to set up multiple Ruby versions/Rails versions on one machine. Same principal you are talking about, a separate Gemset for each project, ect.

I mainly did it out of necessity, since the Treebook project only has instructions on installing rails on Mac and Windows, and I was getting started with Ubuntu, I ended up installing Ruby 2.0.0 and Rails 4.0 and had to figure out how to install the earlier versions to do Treebook.

Yes, I think the security on my site might be a little too good! It should be back up. RVM can be a little intimidating for beginners so I thought I'd try to break down the instructions as much as possible.
