What if I want to use rails 4 in another project?

Hi there,

I am about to install rails 5, I have rails 4 installed with a couple of project working under rails 4... If for some reasons I wanna create a new project with rails 4, would it be easy to go back to rails 4 instead of rails 5?

Is :

rvm use  rails 4.2.6

would do the job, for sure?

Not at all, do you already have a rails 4.2.6 gemset created?

I ran this

$ rvm gemset list

gemsets for ruby-2.3.1 (found in /Users/nelly/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1)
=> (default)
   global

How can I keep an older version of rails? Like the 4.2.6 I used to have

I have just found this from another TreeHouse Student about the Rails versions:

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/different-rails-versions

And the best answer from this shows you how use the gems and install the rails version that you want to use:
