Install Ruby

• from Ubuntu Repositories

If this happens:

Error: while executing gem (Gem::Exception) Unable to require openssl. install openSSL and rebuilt ruby (preferred) or use non HTTPs sources

Make sure openssl is available on the system and recompile ruby. With rbenv is as simple as doing rbenv install ruby_version.

using Rbenv - Ruby Environment does things on the fly by using shims to execute commands.

• a directory of shims (~/.rbenv/shims) is inserted to the front of PATH.
• The directory holds a shim for every Ruby command.
• The operating system searches for a shim that matches the name of the command, which in turn passes it to rbenv, determining the Ruby version to execute.
• rbenv-gemsets is the rbenv equivalent of gemsets

Latest can be installed with rbenv installer

$ rbenv init            # Set up rbenv in your shell.

$ rbenv install -l      # list of all Ruby versions that can be installed 
$ rbenv install 3.0.2
$ rbenv global 3.0.2     # activate version globaly for given user
# or:
$ rbenv local 3.1.2    # set the Ruby version for this directory

And finally, if wanted ruby version is not shown

If the version you need is missing, try upgrading ruby-build:

  git -C /home/yves/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build pull

TroubleShooting

OpenSSL is not available. (ruby 3.0.2p107)

may be indirectely caused by require: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file caused by Ubuntu 22.04 switching to the version 3.0 of OpenSSL.
