May 31, 2016 ยท View on GitHub

Installing vagrant plugins may require having an modern version of ruby installed on the host.

There are several ways to install ruby. One way is to use ruby-install, using chruby to manage your ruby installations:

  1. Install ruby-install via homebrew:

    brew install ruby-install

  2. Find the latest stable ruby:

    curl --fail --location --silent --show-error http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/index.txt | cut -f1 | sort | tail -1 | cut -d'-' -f2

  3. Install ruby via ruby-install:

    ruby-install ruby <version>

  4. Install chruby via homebrew:

    brew install chruby

  5. Configure your shell (and ~/.bash_profile) to source chruby:

    source '/usr/local/share/chruby/chruby.sh'
chruby <version>
