@rubyonmac - I bought this last year, I think, and never looked back. It works on Mac flawlessly so I never spend time to fix a Ruby installation - really worth the money if I factor in the time I would need to put it to fix an installation.

Ever since Sonoma/Xcode command line tools 15 were released, it hasn’t been possible to reliably install and use Ruby versions older than 2.3.
I’m excited to announce that I found a solution for Ruby 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2!

This will most likely be a feature in the upcoming “Complete” version which will also include:
• 30-min consultation (will be removed from the Ultimate version)
• 1 command to generate and deploy a brand new Jekyll or Bridgetown site to GitHub Pages (other hosts coming soon)

• Course (video text) to learn how to troubleshoot issues with getting older Ruby projects running locally, and dev setup issues using real-world examples
• Any other template I add in the future (for example to generate a Rails Tailwind app)
Stay tuned!

If you plan to do a fresh install and you will need a wide range of ruby versions I recommend @rubyonmac
It saved me so many hours!

Paying for a tool to set up #RubyOnRails dev environments may seem ludicrous! @rubyonmac has repeatedly saved me many hours of time & even made installing older versions of Ruby like 2.3.4 on a Mac M2 Pro a breeze. And @monfresh offers great support and more🥇

With Ruby on Mac Ultimate, you can now easily install Ruby versions older than 2.6 on Apple Silicon under Rosetta:
2.1.10, 2.2.10, 2.3.8, 2.4.10, and 2.5.9
Ruby 2.6.10 can still be installed in native mode on Apple Silicon. I just tested it on Ventura 13.3.1.

Ruby on Mac Ultimate now supports default gems! Default file for now is ~/.default-gems
If you already had one of these:
• ~/.default-gems
• ASDF_GEM_DEFAULT_PACKAGES_FILE
• ~/.rbenv/default-gems
ROM will install those gems for you whenever a new Ruby version is installed.

Update: I found a way to do that. So, if you’re using asdf but want to try another version manager, then come back to asdf, you won’t have to reinstall all the Rubies.
As always, updating to the latest version of Ruby on Mac Ultimate is as easy as running “rom update”.

I’ll keep digging to see if there’s a way to disable asdf Ruby without removing Rubies.

I’m thrilled to announce that Ruby on Mac Ultimate now lets choose your preferred version manager. You can choose from asdf, chruby, frum, rbenv, or rvm.
You can change your preference at any time by updating ~/rubyonmac/.default-manager
Let me know if you run into any issues!

asdf can be used for many languages, so I don’t want to disable asdf completely from the shell startup file, but I also don’t want its Ruby setup to be active if you’re using another manager. So far, the only solution I found is to remove the ruby plugin, which removes Rubies.
