ruby-bootstrap

This script bootstraps rvm, Ruby, bundler and any defined gems in a Ruby project directory.

Tested with Bash shell on RHEL/CentOS 6, Mac OS X 10.8+, Debian 7 (Wheezy), and Amazon Linux AMI images (on AWS/EC2).

Usage

$ curl -L https://raw.github.com/miguno/ruby-bootstrap/master/ruby-bootstrap.sh | bash -s

FAQ

Detect desired Ruby version?

The script tries to find .ruby-version in the current directory. If there is none, it recursively traverses from the current directory to its parent directories and picks the first match. For example, if you run the script from the directory foo/bar/quux/ then foo/bar/quux/.ruby-version would be picked before foo/bar/.ruby-version, which in turn would be picked before foo/.ruby-version and so on. This behavior matches rvm's.

Error: import read failed (EPEL gpg key)?

Problem:

error: /home/vagrant/.rvm/archives/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6: import read failed(2).
error: open of /home/vagrant/.rvm/archives/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm failed: No such file or directory

This may happen when rvm tries to install Ruby on RHEL-compatible OS'es (e.g. Amazon Linux AMI images) that do not have EPEL installed. rvm requires EPEL to install build dependencies for Ruby.

Fix:

$ sudo rpm -Uhv https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
